현재 완료: 시간 경과에 따른 변화 (have/has + V3)
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'have/has + V3' to describe how something has evolved or changed from a past point up until right now.
- Use 'has' for he/she/it and 'have' for everyone else. Example: 'The city has grown.'
- Always use the third form (V3) of the verb. Example: 'Prices have risen.'
- Do NOT use a specific time like 'yesterday' or 'in 2010'. Example: 'My English has improved.'
Overview
Present Perfect(현재완료)를 사용합니다. 이것은 말하자면 영어의 '환골탈태(glow-up)' 시제입니다. 그 머리 스타일이 실수였다고 결정한 정확한 순간을 꼬집지 않고도 과거의 나와 현재의 나 사이의 간극을 메워줍니다.Present Perfect를 알게 된 것은 아니죠? 점진적으로 일어난 일입니다. 이를 표현하기 위해 My English has improved.라고 말합니다.Present Perfect는 이 두 지점 사이의 다리입니다. 변화의 *결과*나 *현재 상태*에 초점을 맞추기 때문에 매우 유용합니다.I bought a car(단발성 사건)라고 말하는 것과
The price of cars has increased(시간에 따른 변화 과정)라고 말하는 것의 차이입니다.How This Grammar Works
Present Perfect의 마법은 그 이름에 있습니다. 현재와 관련이 있기 때문에 'present'이고, (언어학적 의미에서) *지금* 중요한 완료되었거나 진행 중인 동작을 보기 때문에 'perfect'입니다. 시간의 흐름에 따른 변화에 사용할 때, 우리는 본질적으로 «이전에는 달랐지만, 과거에 시작된 과정 덕분에 지금은 *이렇다*»라고 말하는 것입니다.Past Simple(단순과거)처럼 정지된 스냅샷이 아닙니다.You have become so much more confident라고 말한다면, 처음 만났을 때부터 그들이 성장한 것을 칭찬하는 것입니다. 지난달 특정 화요일에 대해 말하는 것이 아니라, 그들의 여정 전체에 대해 말하는 것입니다.Formation Pattern

has를 사용하는 것을 잊는 것.The city

Contrast With Similar Patterns

I
언제 일어났는지가 아니라, 이전보다 더 좋은 휴대폰을 가지고 있다는 사실에 초점을 맞춥니다.have upgradedmy phone.
Quick FAQ
yesterday 같은 특정 시간과 함께 사용할 수 있나요?
아니요! 그것은 큰 문법적 실수입니다. 특정 시간이 있다면 Past Simple을 사용하세요.
꼭 좋은 변화여야 하나요?
전혀 아닙니다.
건강이 나빠졌다(has declined)거나 «카페 서비스가 안 좋아졌다»고 말할 수 있습니다. 좋든 나쁘든 모든 변화에 사용 가능합니다.

Use the Present Perfect to describe your growth. It shows that your skills are current.

Emphasis on the change

자주 묻는 질문 (8)
No. You cannot use `yesterday` with the Present Perfect. Say `I changed my hair yesterday` or `I have changed my hair`.
`Has gone` means they are still there. `Has been` means they went and came back. For changes, we usually use `has become` or `has changed`.
Because `The company` is an 'it' (third-person singular). Any singular noun that isn't 'I' or 'you' takes `has`.
Yes, in British English. In American English, people usually say `has gotten better`. Both describe a change over time.
Absolutely. `The quality has dropped` or `My health has worsened` are perfect examples of negative changes.
Yes. Without the auxiliary, it is not the Present Perfect. `I changed` is Past Simple; `I have changed` is Present Perfect.
You can use the Present Perfect Continuous: `The climate has been changing`. This emphasizes that the process is ongoing.
Group them by sound! `Grow-Grown`, `Know-Known`, `Throw-Thrown`. This makes them much easier to memorize.
