    The document discusses rules and usage of the present perfect tense in English. It provides examples of when to use the present perfect tense in six situations: 1) for an action that began in the past and continues in the present, 2) for an action where the result is important but the time is not, 3) for a very recent completed action, 4) for an action during a period that has not finished yet, 5) for a repeated action between the past and now, and 6) notes that the simple past should be used when asking for details like when, where, who about an action.
