2 • Present per 96.71 Read the theory. Then, use the phrases in the brackets to make sentences. We use the present perfect (have + past participle of the main verb) for: a) actions which happened at an unstated time in the past and continue up to the present. Kanat has lost his gloves for skiing. b) experiences. I've tried surfing, but I haven't tried canoeing yet.

He had bought a guitar a month before he started the lessons. b) actions that finished in the past and whose result was visible in the past. She was happy. She had started a new hobby. (The result was visible in the past.) Compare: She is happy. She has started a new hobby. (The result is in the present.)

Family is an essential part of the society and it plays the most important role in everybody’s life. it means that the most important people in our lives are our family members. family is represented by a close unit of parents and children living together. i believe that everyone wants to have a happy family and good relations with all its members. in my opinion, a happy family should have mutual interests, hopes and dreams to share. other important issues are love, trust and respect. no family can exist without love. happiness is also impossible without love. when people love each other, they can overcome all the obstacles. unfortunately, modern couples often build their relations on some other values, such as money, social position, etc. they think that happiness will come itself and nobody has to make an effort. they are mistaken, as good family relations are impossible without mutual understanding and love. children in the family also play an important role. to keep up ideal relations with parents they should be kind to them, trusting and understanding. they should share everyday joys and sorrows with their parents. whenever, there is a difficult situation, parents are the first people to help them and find the way out. my family is not big. i live with my parents and my little sister. i think that we have ideal relations, as we never quarrel with each other. instead, we always treat each other with respect and love. if there is a problem, we talk about it and try to find the best possible solution.
