The Present Perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now. It is formed using "has" or "have" plus the past participle of the verb.
For irregular verbs, the past participle forms do not follow the regular "-ed" pattern. Here are some common irregular verbs and their past participles:
- be: been
- go: gone
- do: done
- have: had
- see: seen
- come: come
- read: read
- eat: eaten
- drink: drunk
- swim: swum
- ride: ridden
- fly: flown
- meet: met
- buy: bought
- break - broken
-drive - driven
- take: taken
- write: written
- spend: spent
- lose: lost
Use the Present Perfect with the following structures:
1. Subject + has/have + past participle (e.g., She has eaten.)
2. Use "has" with he, she, it.
3. Use "have" with I, you, we, they.
The Present Perfect can be used to indicate experiences, changes, or actions that are still relevant.
