‘Right! Read this!
The present perfect is a very difficult concept that does not exist in every language. We use it to link the past to the present in some way – for example when we can see the present result of something that happened in the past. We don’t usually include a time expression with the present perfect (except when we use for and since). We make the present perfect simple affirmative by following the subject with the appropriate present tense form of the auxiliary ‘have’ then the past participle or third form of the main verb. The closed interrogative form is made by simple inversion of the auxiliary and the main verb.
‘Do you understand?’
