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.)
PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
We use Present Perfect to talk about completed actions with
a aonnection to the present, experiences, and actions that
started in the past and continue into the present.

POSITIVE FORM
Start with the subject, add "have" (for I, you, we, they)
or "has" (for he, she, it), and then add the past participle
form of the verb. (The verb can be regular or irregular.)
Example: “I have played soccer.”

NEGATIVE FORM
Use "not" after "have" or "has" to form negative sentences.
Add the past participle form of the verb.
Example: “She hasn’t finished her lunch yet.”

QUESTION FORM
Begin with "have" or "has," add the subject, and then
add the past participle form of the verb.
Example: “Have you seen that movie?”
