Present Perfect
When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the action happened is not important. Sometimes, we want to limit the time when we are looking for an experience. We can do this with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so far, etc.

The Past Participle form of the verbs


Regular verbs
When you want to form the past participle of regular verbs, it is the same as the past tense played where we add ed to the base form.

Irregular verbs
The irregular form of the verbs in past participle change and you have to learn them with practice.

The Present Perfect STRUCTURE / SYNTAX


The present perfect is formed with the auxiliary have y the past participle of the verb.

Positive form
SUBJECT + [HAVE / HAS + PAST PARTICIPLE] + COMPLEMENT

I have visited the White House. I have studied English for three years. I have finished the project. She has worked at that company since 1990.

Negative form
SUBJECT + [HAVEN'T / HASN'T + PAST PARTICIPLE] + COMPLEMENT

I have not finished the project. I haven't finished the project. She has not worked at that company. She hasn't worked at that company.

Question form
Question word + [HAVE / HAS + SUBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE] + COMPLEMENT

Have you finished the project? Has she worked at that company? Have I bought a new dress? Has he broken the window?
