Grammar Content
The present perfect is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "has" or "have"
with the past participle.

I have studied.

He has written a letter to María.

We have been stranded for six days.

Because the present perfect is a compound tense, two verbs are required: the
main verb and the auxiliary verb.

I have studied.

(main verb: studied ; auxiliary verb: have)

He has written a letter to María.

(main verb: written ; auxiliary verb: has)

We have been stranded for six days.

(main verb: been ; auxiliary verb: have)

We use the present perfect of be when someone has gone to a place and
returned:

A: Where have you been?

B: I’ve just been out to the supermarket.

 A: Have you ever been to San Francisco?

B: No, but I’ve been to Los Angeles.

But when someone has not returned we use have/has gone:

A: Where is Maria? I haven’t seen her for weeks.

B: She's gone to Paris for a week. She’ll be back tomorrow.

a) I has bought shoes.
b) I have bought shoes.

Exercise 6. Key grammar.

We often use the present perfect with time adverbials which refer to the recent
past:

just; already

We have just got back from our holidays.

or adverbials which include the present:

ever (in questions); yet (in questions and negatives)

We do not use the present perfect with an adverbial which refers to past time
which is finished:

But we can use it to refer to a time which is not yet finished:
