What is?
What is the Present Perfect?
The present perfect tense refers to an action or state
that either occurred at an indefinite time in the past or
began in the past and continued to the present time.
This tense is formed by have/has + the past participle.

Formed?
 How is it Formed?
The construction of this verb tense is simple.
- The first element is have or has, depending on the subject the verb is
conjugated with.
- The second element is the past participle of the verb, which is usually formed
by adding -ed or -d to the verb’s root (walked, cleaned, jumped) although
English does have quite a few verbs that have irregular past participles (done,
said, gone, known, won, thought, felt, eaten).
