What is the Present Perfect tense in English?
Present perfect tense definition: The Present Perfect tense is used to talk about
actions that occurred in the past. Here, the completion of the actions is more
important than when they occurred, and that’s is why we don’t talk about the
time when the actions occurred in the past.
Please note that the actions (completed) are still relevant to the present.
Present perfect tense examples:
I have been to Disneyland twice.
Jon has eaten raw fish.
The house has been furnished.
We have made a robot to serve food.
