Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The present perfect tense is made with
have/has + past participle.
We use:
-
I, you, we, they → have
-
he, she, it → has
Also, remember the past participles of common verbs:
- see → seen
- read → read (same spelling!)
- go → gone
- eat → eaten
- climb → climbed
- have → had
- love → loved
- like → liked
- want → wanted
- do → done
- finish → finished
- make → made
- catch → caught
- play → played
- buy → bought
