 Introduction
What is the Present Perfect Tense?
• The present perfect tense is one of the
common verb tenses in English, used to
show an action that happened in the past
that is directly related to the present, such as
actions that are still continuing or that
indicate a change over time.
How do we use the present perfect tense?
In the present perfect tense, the main verbs always use the
auxiliary verbs has or have. The main verb takes a participle
form, specifically the past participle. The past participle is
often the same form as the simple past form of the verb,
unless it’s an irregular verb, which each have their own unique
past participle form.

When is the present perfect used?

The present perfect tense is commonly used with events
that started in the past and continue into the present.
However, it has a few other uses too, including events
that happened very recently in the past.
1. The present perfect tense for statements
For general statements, the most common use of the present perfect, use have or has plus the past
participle form of the main verb.

☆ [have/has] + [past participle]

- Charlotte has become friends with Wilbur.
- We’ve broken up before, but this time feels different.

2. The present perfect tense for negatives

To use the present perfect tense in the negative, simply add the negative word (like not or never) after the
auxiliary verb but before the past participle.

☆ [have/has] + [negative] + [past participle]

- I have not slept well since exams started.
- My Midwestern friend has never seen the ocean.
3. The present perfect tense for questions
When asking a question in the present perfect
tense, the auxiliary verb comes first, followed by
the subject, and then the past participle of the
main verb.

☆ [have/has] + [subject] + [past participle]

- Have you eaten dinner yet?
- Has the party started?
-Thank you -
