PRESENT PERFECT

PRESENT PERFECT

The present perfect simple expresses an action that is still going on or that stopped recently, but has an influence on the present. It puts emphasis on the result.

Pronoun + have/has + verb participle 

• I have eaten a sandwich
• You have played a tennis match
• She has broken her leg
• 
  

REMEMBER

The past participle is the regular verb + ed or the third column of the irregular verbs.
