  2. Hello, Thank you for the present perfect sheet. Just two questions : I don't understand : ...have never...? The form is not that of a question and you wouldn't use "never" in a question. I must have missed something. Can you please explain ? Thanks Why do you say "to say that something lasts for some time" and not has lasted... Thanks Mousepotato

    If I can understand it correctly you would like to see a comparison between past simple and present perfect. It is something I would like to do soon. Maybe tomorrow. :-)

    this is a great form to learn present perfect but I have a doubt: in the USAGE part, second point, second example: "she is cannot play tennis. she has broken her leg" isn't bad written, is correct: "she cannot play tennis ..." ?? if I'm mistaken please let me know, just wondering.
