SUMMARY OF THE THREE VIDEOS

 THE PRESENT PERFECT

The PRESENT PERFECT is formed with a present tense form of “to have” plus the past
participle of the verb (which can be either regular of irregular in form). This tense indicates
either that an action was completed (finished or “perfected”) at some point in the past or
that extends to the present.

EXAMPLE

 I have walked two miles already [ but I´m still

 I have run the Boston Marathon [ but that was some time ago]
 The critics have praised the film Saving Private Ryan since it came out [and they
continue to do so]
