PRESENTE PERFECTO

PRESENT PERFECT






is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "has" or "have" with the past participle.         HAS is used for pronouns such as HE, SHE and IT. HAVE is used for first person ( I, YOU) and plural pronouns ( WE, THEY)

I............................................. Have
YOU .....................................Have
HE ........................................Has
SHE .....................................Has
IT.........................................Has
YOU....................................Have
WE.......................................Have
THEY..................................Have

EXAMPLES:- I have learnt english
                     - he has bought new shoes
                     - mary and  peter have eaten vegetables
                      - Sue has studied all the week.
    
Present perfect is a compound tense, so two verbs are required: the main verb and the auxiliary verb.
we have played the match
(main verb: play; auxiliary verb: have)
charlie has driven his new car
(main verb: driven; auxiliary verb: has)
I have gotten  VIP tickets.
(main verb: gotten  ; auxiliary verb: have)
it`s important to remember that past partciciple means the verb with termination " ADO, IDO"
So, tried to understand and practice yourself:
- I have visited my parents today
- Steve has brought meat and chicken.
- they have understood the exercises
- she has danced in the performance
- it has been difficult this week
- you have thought about your homework
- we have traveled to Bogota.

If you want to deny the present perfect follow this structure:

               SUBJECT + HAVE or HASNOT MAIN VERB ( in past participle)+  COMPLEMENT

EXAMPLES: - my parents HAVE NOT VISITED my granparents this month
                      - Sebastian HAS NOT STUDIED for his exams
                      - We HAVE NOT  played soccer this morning


If you want to make a question follow this structure:
               HAVE or HAS + SUBJECT + MAIN VERB ( in past participle) + COMPLEMENT

EXAMPLES: - Has Maria made her bed?
                      - Have They painted my house?
                      - Have you picked up the clothes from the laundry?
