Perfect tenses generally focus on how a past action affects the present. For example, “I have already eaten. ”

Perfect tenses are more precise than 'simple' tenses. Simple tenses just give us a general idea as to whether something happened in the past present or future. Simple past: I walked to school. Simple present: She is green.
Past Perfect: had + past tense verb Present Perfect: has/have + past tense verb Future: will/won't + past tense verb Activity You are going to write 'Perfect Stories' using the template on the last slide. These are three-sentence stories written in the perfect tenses. See the next slide for examples. You write a sentence in the past perfect tense; then a sentence in the present perfect tense; and finally a sentence in the future perfect tense. You will draw a picture for each sentence. Be as random as you can.
Example: The banana had not eaten in days. The banana has eaten an extremely hot chili. The banana will have regretted this decision.
