Is I seen you grammatically correct?

Is I seen you grammatically correct?

Seen is the past participle form of “see.” Seen requires a helper verb, such as “have.” I have seen that movie. A coyote was seen in the park yesterday. It is never correct to use “seen” without a helper verb.

Is it I seen or Ive seen?

In standard English, it’s “I’ve seen” not “I’ve saw.” The helping verb “have” (abbreviated here to “’ve”) requires “seen.” In the simple past (no helping verb), the expression is “I saw,” not “I seen.” “I’ve seen a lot of ugly cars, but when I saw that old beat-up Rambler I couldn’t believe my eyes.”

Have seen and had seen difference?

Has seen means that the event (seeing) started and ended at least once before now. This statement compares the past to the present. Had seen means that the event (seeing) started and ended in the past at least once before a second, more recent, time or event in the past that has now ended.

What does the phrase’the first time’mean?

“The first time” implies that there might have been a second and a third, etc., but the first time was definitely in the past – at least, the act of seeing him in the car was in the past. But, interestingly, it still is the first time, and will continue to be the first time for all eternity.

When do you Say I have ever seen him?

There are probably some prescriptive rules on this particular case. “I have ever seen him” covers all the time from the creation of the universe to the time of the statement.

Which is more appropriate,’This is the first time’?

Use the present progressive—”This is the first time I’m seeing this,” or better perhaps, the present perfect — “This is the first time I’ve seen this.” A native speaker would never use the simple present in this sentence. Remember that the simple present is generally used for a habitual or repeated action.
