Explications sur le “present perfect”
Structure: sujet + have/has + participe passé (Exemples: I have been to many countries. He has seen this movie before. I have received many emails today.)
Négation: Sujet + haven’t / hasn’t + participe passé (Exemples: I haven’t been to many countries. He hasn’t seen this movie before. I haven’t received many emails today.)
Quand utiliser ce temps de verbe? Pour des actions terminées. Quand on utilise le “present perfect”, on n’est pas intéressés par le “quand” l’action s’est produite, mais plutôt par le fait qu’elle s’est déjà produite. Par exemple, dans la phrase “I’ve seen that movie.”, on n’est pas intéressé à savoir QUAND on a vu le film, mais seulement par le fait qu’on l’a déjà vu avant.
On n’utilise jamais ce temps de verbe quand on mentionne un temps passé (par exemple avec des mots tels “yesterday”, “last week”, “in 2015”. Avec des temps passés, on doit utliiser plutôt le “simple past”. Exemples: I went to Italy 5 years ago. I saw that movie last weekend. I received many emails yesterday.)
Quand on ne mentionne pas le moment ou que le moment mentionné n’est pas terminé, on peut utiliser le “simple past” et le “present perfect” de façon interchangeable. Exemples: I’ve seen that movie. = I saw that movie. I’ve received many emails today. = I received many emails today.

J’ai vu le film Titanic 10 fois.

= I’ve seen the movie Titanic 10 times.
