What this exam is like

The Present Perfect exam has 37 multiple-choice questions across these levels: Primary (25), Secondary (37). Each attempt draws 10 at random from the level you choose. You get two tries per question, and each answer is explained afterwards. At the end you see your grade.

Sample questions

  1. 1. How do we form the present perfect?

    • be + past participle
    • did + infinitive
    • have/has + past participle
    • was/were + -ing
    Show the answer

    ✅ have/has + past participle

    Present perfect = have/has + past participle. "I have eaten." "She has gone." Never use "did" with present perfect.

  2. 2. Which sentence is correct?

    • I has seen him yesterday.
    • I have saw him yesterday.
    • I have seen him yesterday.
    • I saw him yesterday.
    Show the answer

    ✅ I saw him yesterday.

    "Yesterday" is a finished time, so it needs the past simple: I saw him. The present perfect never goes with a finished time expression, however recent it is.

  3. 3. Which sentence is WRONG?

    • I have already eaten.
    • I have lived here for ten years.
    • I have lived here since 2010.
    • I have seen him yesterday.
    Show the answer

    ✅ I have seen him yesterday.

    With a finished, specific moment (yesterday) you use the past simple: "I saw him yesterday". The present perfect does not take a closed date.
