PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

TALKING ABOUT COMPLETED ACTIONS

WITH A CONNECTION TO THE PRESENT
We use the Present Perfect to talk about actions or
events that happened at an unspecified time in the past
but have a connection to the present.
Example: “I have broken my leg.”
(This means you broke your leg at some time in the past
and it is still broken today.)

TALKING ABOUT EXPERIENCES

We use it to talk about experiences in our life.
Example: “I have been to Berlin.”
(This means you visited Berlin at some point in your life,
but you're not specifying when.)

TALKING ABOUT ACTIONS THAT STARTED

IN THE PAST AND CONTINUE INTO THE PRESENT
We also use it to talk about actions that began in the
past and are still relevant or ongoing in the present.
Example: “He has lived in this city for five years.”
(He moved to the city five years ago, and he still lives there.)
