' We form the present perfect with the correct form of have and the past participle
of the main verb.
For regular verbs, the past participle ends in -ed and is the same as the past
simple form. Irregular verbs don't follow the -ed rule.

Someone has eaten all the cake!

past. We don't say exactly when it happened.
