The Present Perfect tense in English is used to refer to actions that occurred in the recent past that have a connection to the present. It is formed using the auxiliary verb "have" in the simple present plus the main verb in its past participle form. Examples of affirmative sentences include "I have bought a new dress" and "You have studied the lesson." To form questions and negative sentences, the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject.
