The present perfect tense is used to express actions or situations that have occurred at an unspecified time before now, as well as to describe experiences, completed actions, and changes over time. This tense is formed using “have” or “has” followed by the past participle of the verb, and can convey actions that started in the past and continue to the present. We often use it with words like “already”, “yet”, “ever”, “never”, “just”, “recently”, “lately”, and “so far”.
