The Definition
 Present Perfect Tense

The present perfect is a grammatical combination of the present tense and perfect aspect that is used to
express a past event that has present consequences. [1] The term is used particularly in the context of English
grammar to refer to forms like "I have left".
 Past Perfect Tense

indicates that an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the past before something
else happened. This tense is formed with the past tense form of "to have" (HAD) plus the past participle of the
verb.
 Perfect Continuous Tense

shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. The present perfect continuous
is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing).
 Future Perfect Tense

 is a verb form or construction used to describe an event that is expected or planned to happen before a time
of reference in the future, such as will have finished in the English sentence "I will have finished by tomorrow."
