- The Present Perfect Tense connects past actions with the present, often indicating that the action has been completed recently or has an ongoing effect.
- The structure is:
Subject + have/has + Past Participle + Remaining Parts of the Sentence.
- For irregular verbs, you need to know their past participle forms (e.g., "read," "seen," "gone," etc.).
