= The present perfect tense is used to describe something that happened in the past, but the exact time it happened is not important. It has a relationship with the present.

**There must be connection with now.

We use the Present Perfect Tense (Usage):

1-) Actions which present started in the past and continued up to now;

  I have worked here since 2016.

 We have studied here for six months.

2-)To talk about experiences;

  I have been to Istanbul.

I have never met a famous actor.

Have you ever seen a ghost?   (Yes ı have, everyday. )

3-)Recent actions;

mom: What happened?

little Ben: Nothing mom! I have just broken the glass.

4-)Unstated time for actions happened in the past; (Time is not important!)

What a change! She has cut her hair.

What a suprise! They've had a baby.     

*** We form the Present Perfect Simple with "have/has" and past participle.

To form the past participle of irregular verbs, we add "-ed". 

However, some verbs have irregular past participles.

  For Example: eat(base form)     -ate(past simple)    -eaten(past participle)
