The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb. We use the present perfect: for something that started in the past and continues in the present: They've been married for nearly fifty years. She has lived in Liverpool all her life. when we are talking about our experience up to the present: I've seen that film before. I've played the guitar ever since I was a teenager.
