    Rule 1:
    If we are talking about an event which happened in the
    past and if we don’t give an exact time (yesterday/two
    days ago/last week), we can use ‘The Present Perfect
    Tense’.
    The exact time is not important.
    I have bought a new house. I have made some
    changes. I have painted the walls blue. I have
    changed the curtains. I have removed the
    carpet on the stairs…

    yesterday / last week / two days ago

    Rule 2:
    We often use ‘The Present Perfect Tense’ to talk about a
    continuing situation. This is a state that started in the past and
    continues in the present and will probably continue into the
    future. This is a state (it is not an action). We usually use "for"
    or "since" with this structure.

    He hasn’t seen his family for 5 months.

    He has been a shoemaker since
    1970.

    Rule 3:
    We use it for an action which happened in the near past.
    And, it has strong connections or effects to the
    present.
    You walked in the rain yesterday. And look;
    I have broken my You have got a cold. You look
    arm. very bad.

    It still hurts.

    Rule 4:
    If we are talking about a period (today/this morning/this
    week/this month/this year/this century) which hasn’t
    finished,
    then we can use ‘The Present Perfect Tense’.

    Rule 5:
    Lately/Recently: These words give us information about the
    events happened in the near past. They don’t give a specific
    time in the past.
    So, we can use ‘The Present Perfect Tense’.
