Contractions in the Present Perfect Simple

In general, we contract the subject (the person or thing that has done the action) and form of have:

I have > I’ve – I’ve used those images before.

He has > He’s / She has > She’s / It has > It’s – He’s already had the surgery.

We have > We’ve / You have > You’ve / They are > They’ve – We’ve just gotten home.

You may have noticed that the 3rd person singular (he, she, it) contractions look like those in the present progressive. You can tell them apart by the use of the V3 and from the context of the sentence: he is > He’s eating now. / he has > He’s eaten dinner already

 

TENER CUIDADO DE NO CONFUNDIR EL PRESENTE PERFECTO, FORMA CORTA; CON EL PRESENTE PROGRESIVO. (Ver los ejemplos de color rojo)
