Let's solve this exercise step by step.
The task is to
complete the positive sentences using the
Present Perfect tense. The structure of the Present Perfect is:
>
Subject + have/has + past participle
- Use
have with I, you, we, they
- Use
has with he, she, it
Also remember:
- The
past participle form of regular verbs ends in
-ed, but irregular verbs have special forms (e.g., *eat → eaten*, *go → gone*, *lose → lost*, etc.)

🔍 Explanation Summary:
- The
Present Perfect is used for actions that happened at an unspecified time before now or for experiences.
- It emphasizes the
result or
experience, not when it happened.
- We use
have/has + past participle.
- Always check the subject to choose
have or
has.
- Irregular verbs need special attention (e.g., eat → eaten, drink → drunk, lose → lost).
