The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with time expressions such as yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day or one day. We CAN use the Present Perfect with expressions like ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already and yet.

Now listen and underline the words the speaker stressesSentence Stress in EnglishSentence stress is the music of spoken English. Like word stress, sentence stress can help you to understand spoken English, especially when spoken fast.Sentence stress is what gives English its rhythm or beat. You remember that word stress is accent on one syllable within a word. Sentence stress is accent on certain words within a sentence.Most sentences have two types of word:content words structure words Content words are the key words of a sentence. They are the important words that carry the meaning or sense.Structure words are not very important words. They are small, simple words that make the sentence correct grammatically. They give the sentence its correct form or structure.If you remove the structure words from a sentence, you will probably still understand the sentence.If you remove the content words from a sentence, you will not understand the sentence. The sentence has no sense or meaning.Now repeat the sentences.Speaking6 Think about space travel.
