Abstract


The present dissertation is a contrastive analysis of the present perfect tense in English and Mashi. This work has described the present perfect tense in English and Mashi, with more emphasis on the latter language where some of the verbs given in the twenty-four illustrating corpuses are morphologically analysed. The description is followed by the comparison of the present perfect in both languages, at the phonological and morphological levels. It has been noticed that the present perfect tense has different forms in the two languages and that a pupil who has got Mashi as his/her L1 experiences a lot of difficulties in mastering some aspects of the present perfect tense.

Author Keywords: Contrastive analysis, Present Perfect Tense, English, Mashi.
