Present perfect

The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb.

Example: I have been in Paris twice this year

Present perfect

When do we use present perfect?

We use the present perfect:1. 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.
2. 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.
  • He has written three books and he is working on another one.

Present perfect Continuous

  1. The present perfect continuous is formed using has/have + been + present participle.
  2. Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and has/have. Negatives are made with not.
  3. Statement: You have been waiting here for two hours.
  4. Question: Have you been waiting here for two hours?
  5. Negative: You have not been waiting here for two hours.
