The Present Perfect Tense is used in case of repeated actions, in those actions where the time is not important, and actions that began in the past but are not finished yet and will probably finish in the present as we speak. The Present Perfect Tense can be used in the following scenarios:
• It is commonly used in actions or events that began in the past and have continued into the present
• They are used to show an action that has been completed
• To indicate a time period that has not yet finished
• This tense is often used with phrases that begin with “This is the first” or “second time” and so on.
• Is used to describe or express an action that is repeated in the past
• Used to indicate or describe actions that have been completed in the recent past

Formulating the Present Perfect Tense
To form the present perfect tense, we need to use the simple present tense of the auxiliary verb ‘have’ or ‘has’ based on whether the noun being referred to is plural or singular. The auxiliary verb is then followed by the past participle of the verb. It can also be written as: have/has + past participle. Let us see some examples,
• We have known each other for a very long time.
•  There have been many contenders for this role.
• Has there ever been a war during your lifetime?
• I have just eaten.
• We have had the same car for 8 years. Open / Comment

• When an action in the future is mentioned without specifying when it will occur.

• When we talk about a planned or arranged event or action that is set to take place at a specified time in the future.

• It is also used in conditions where the action or event is occurring but not necessarily while we speak.

• It is used in a changing situation.

• With adverbs such as ‘always’ which describe an action that happens frequently. Open / Comment
