Resources When we change the sentence that someone said using the present perfect tense in direct speech into indirect speech, the past perfect tense is used. “I have never visited the Great Pyramid, but I have read a lot about it,” he said to me. He told me that he had never visited the Great Pyramid, but he had read a lot about it. The time markers like by now and by the end of last year etc. can help us distinguish the two tenses. We have received more than ten letters from him by now. We had received five letters from him by the end of last year. When we talk about an action that began in the past and lasts until the present, we use the present perfect tense. When we talk about an action that ended at a time in the past, we use the past perfect tense. |
