4. Definition
The present perfect tense is an English verb tense used for past
actions that are related to or continue into the present. It’s easily
recognized by the auxiliary verbs (or helper verbs)haveandhas, as
in, “Ihave gonefishing since I was a child.”
Of all the English verb tenses, the present perfect is one of the most
complicated because there’s not always a direct translation in other
languages. So in this guide, we explain everything you need to know
to use itperfectly,including how and when to use it, with plenty of
present perfect tense examples.

5. Definition
The present perfect tense is one of the commonverb tensesin
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.
E.g.I have been a teacher for seven years. That is to say that I
worked as a teacher seven years ago and still working as a teacher
until now.
Don’t let the name confuse you—even though the wordpresentis
there, the present perfect tense deals with actions that happened or
started in the past.

6. 1.First-person:Ihave comea long way.
2.Second person:Youhave comea long way.
3.Third-person plural:Theyhave comea long way.
4.Third-person singular:He/she/ithas comea long way.

7. The present perfect tense for statements

present perfect, usehaveorhasplus the past
participle form of the main verb.

simply add the negative word

Please notethat it’s clearest toavoid contractions when
using the present perfect tense with the negative, at
least in American English.

10. Present perfect -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. This follows a similar construction as
questions with the auxiliary verbdo, which also comes before the
subject.
[have/has] + [subject] + [past participle]
