Page 2: Defining and Non-Defining Clauses and Perfect Tenses
This section elaborates on the differences between defining and non-defining clauses, along with the present perfect tense structure and uses.
Definition: Defining clauses provide essential information without commas, while non-defining clauses offer additional, non-essential information with commas.
Example: Present Perfect structure: "I have seen your bag" (Affirmative), "I haven't seen your bag" (Negative)
Highlight: The present perfect is used for:
- Actions started in the past continuing to present
- Actions during an unfinished time period
- Repeated actions in an unspecific period between past and present
Quote: "When in the same sentence there is past perfect simple and past simple, the first action takes the perfect and the second takes past simple"
