Question

This is the first time I have eaten honey with spaghetti - почему здесь Present Perfect?

Answer 1

Потому что нет уточнения во времени -  first time, а когда этот first time, никто не знает

Answer 2

Present Perfect is used in the sentence "This is the first time I have eaten honey with spaghetti" because it indicates an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present moment. The use of "have eaten" suggests that the speaker has had the experience of eating honey with spaghetti at some point before now, but it is the first time they are experiencing it. The Present Perfect tense is commonly used to talk about experiences, actions that have occurred in the past but are relevant to the present, or actions that have just been completed.

Here are a few examples of the Present Perfect tense being used in similar contexts:

- "This is the first time I have visited this city." - "She has never seen a live concert before." - "We have already finished our homework."

The use of the Present Perfect tense emphasizes the connection between the past experience and the present moment. It suggests that the action or experience has some relevance or impact on the current situation.
