Present Tense
Present Perfect Tense:
The present perfect tense is used to:
1. Indicate an action completed in the immediate past (more often with just), e.g. :
- I have just woken up.
- She has just reached safely.
2. To indicate actions that took place in the past but whose time is not given and is not definite, like:
- I have met the President.
- Bob has read Robinson Crusoe.
Now let us look at the structure of a sentence that is written in the present perfect tense. Take the example of:
I have played football.
This sentence also has the same structure as sentence 3 in the explore part. That is:
Subject (S) + has/have +Past Participle form of the verb(V3) + Remaining Part (RP)
More examples:
- I have sent him a message.
- She has received the letter.
- They have seen him in the shopping mall.
