TOPIC 1 EXPERIENCE We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified
time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time
expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at
that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such
as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
