Introduction
\n
The Present Perfect Tense is used to connect the past with the present. In the BEM exam, you will often need to use words like already, yet, just, ever, and never with the Present Perfect. These little words (adverbs) change the meaning of the sentence, so it is important to understand each one.
\n
مقدمة: يستخدم زمن المضارع التام للربط بين الماضي والحاضر. في امتحان BEM، ستحتاج غالباً لاستخدام كلمات مثل already, yet, just, ever, never مع المضارع التام. هذه الظروف تغير معنى الجملة، لذا من المهم فهم كل واحدة.
