Verb form differences in "be" and "have"?
I just don't know how to explain the difference in usage in the basic verb form of "be" and "have".
A mistake like this for example:
I am never saw.
I have never seen.
How to explain whether to use "be" or "have"?
thanks.

If you start trying to discuss why, your class will start to get i
