--description--

In the Present Perfect tense, to form a negative sentence, you insert not directly after have or has. This construction allows you to express actions and events that have not taken place recently.

For example, if Jake wishes to express that a significant amount of time has passed since his last bicycle ride, he could say, I have not been on a bike since I was a child.

In this sentence, the combination of the verb have and not can also be abbreviated to haven't: I haven't been on a bike since I was a child.
