Unit 1 Computer Users Past Simple and Present Perfect
Study these examples of the Present perfect from the recording of the artist.
1. I've scanned in about a third of these photographs. 2. I've organised the paintings into themes. 3. I've added a sound track.
Why doesn't the speaker use the Past simple?
4. I scanned in about a third of these photographs. 5. I organised the paintings into themes. 6. I added a sound track. |
We use the Present perfect to describe past actions with present relevance. The artist uses the Present perfect because he is describing a CD he has just made and what he is going to do with it in the near future.
We use the Past simple to describe completed actions in the past. It is often used with time expressions such as last year, before PCs were introduced, in 1998. Note these examples from the recording:
7. I made one for Mary's birthday last week. 8. We tried it out lost term. |
I Match the two halves of these sentences.
1. We used the Internet to email our tutors,
2. I have started my own website for other students doing my course,
3. They have just installed a multimedia computer in the office,
4. Just as television has extended human sight across the barriers of time and distance,
5. When the children stood on pressure pads under the mat,
they could move about inside the pictures on the screen.
to process different forms of data, including text, graphic, audio, animation and video.
if we had any problems with our course papers.
so the computers extend the power of the human mind across the existing barriers.
so we can chat about assignments and help each other if we are in difficulty.
