The present perfect tense is formed using "has" or "have" plus the past participle to describe an action that occurred at an unspecified time before now or an action that started in the past and continues in the present. It can be used with unspecific expressions like ever, never, once, many times, before, and yet to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past or to describe past actions that have a present result or are ongoing.
