Learn English Tenses: PRESENT PERFECT with Unfinished Time

What’s the difference between “I haven’t seen him today” and “I didn’t see him today”? In this advanced English grammar lesson, I will teach you how to use the present perfect with unfinished time. This means using the present perfect with time words such as “today,” “this morning,” “this afternoon,” “this month,” “this year,” and more. If you want to expand your knowledge and usage of the present perfect tense, this class is for you. When you’re done, make sure to do the quiz to test your understanding.

Thanks a lot for this grammar lesson!

Hi Alex
Thanks a lot for this useful session
we do not have this tense in my mother tongue
I have a question
-What have you done today?
So far, I came home from hospital and I have slept for 5 hours.
Is it correct?
I am confusing because the sleep was a finished activity and that person is awake now.

Dear Alex, thank you for your lesson about the present perfect. The question is : Have you had lunch yet? I think this questioner does not know, if his counterpart has finished or not. But the answerer knows this. He had lunch. Why should the right answer be: He has?
