Present Perfect Tense[edit | edit source]
Present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past, or to talk about an action that happened in the past that has a connection to the present. To form the present perfect tense, use the appropriate form of "have" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Let's take an example:
| Odia | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ମୁଁ | mŭ' | I have |
| ଖାଇଲି | khailĭ | eaten |
| ଖାଇବେ | khaibe | will eat |
Translation: I have eaten.
Here is a dialogue to see the words in context:
- Person 1: ତୁମେ ଯେଉଁଠୁ ଆସିଲେ? (tŭme jeŭthu asile?) (Where have you come from?)
- Person 2: ମୁଁ ଜବଲ୍ପୁରରୁ ଆସିଲେ ଏଠାରେ ଆମେ ହେଲା ଅଟେକୁ ଡ୍ରାଇଭର୍ । (mŭ jabalpŭraru asile ethăre ame hela atĕku draiver.) (I have come from Jajpur, I am a driver here.)
