Correcte. Mais on pote dicer "I have played before now" o "I had played before yesterday".
Le importante es que le action es complete al momento que on describe. Il ha
exceptiones in anglese: "I have lived here for 20 years". On suppone que illo continua a
habitar la. Io crede que isto es proque le emphase es super le 20 annos, que es complete
e passate.
