Present Perfect We use the present perfect tense when… We talk about experiences. It is important if we have done it in our lives or not.  It is not important when we did it. Examples      I  have been  abroad two times.     Anna  has  never  broken  a leg.      Have  you ever  eaten  sushi?
Present Perfect 2.  To connect the past to the present Something began on the past, but it continues until now   . Examples  I  have been  a teacher for more than ten years. We  haven't seen  John since Friday.
Present Perfect 3.  We also use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about a past action that has the result in the present. Examples      I  have lost  my wallet. = I don't have it now.  Jimmy  has gone  to South America. = He isn't here now.
