what is present perfect tense?
• what is the present perfect tense? What's the function for? Present
perfect tense is a part of grammar that functions to show an action that
actually happened in the past, but still has something to do with the
present. For example, I say "I haven't eaten breakfast." That means, I
haven't had breakfast, and I still haven't. Maybe I'll have breakfast after
this.

• Why not just use the simple past tense, "I didn't eat breakfast this
morning." is that so? Because that means I didn't have breakfast this
morning. It's just that, there's no continuation until now because when
it's noon it's not called breakfast anymore.
when we do use perfect tense?
• We use the present perfect for events in the past that are still
related to the present situation, and the time frame is not
specific. However, we use the past simple if something has
happened and ended in the past within a specific time frame
Present Perfect Tense Formula
There is a special feature that you can immediately encounter when reading a present perfect tense sentence: you will
definitely find the word have/has. When do you use have and has, it can be seen from the subject of the sentence:

Have : subject I, you, we, they, or plural noun.

Has : subject he, she, it, or singular noun.

In addition, the verbs used in this tense are always in the form of past participle or verb 3. Hey, do you still memorize
regular and irregular verbs, don't you? Let me remember to give you an example. Later, you'll try to find other verbs
yourself, OK!

Talk (v1) -> talk (v2) -> talk (v3)

Eat (v1) -> ate (v2) -> eaten (v3)
put(v1) -> put(v2) -> put(v3)

Well, now that you know some of the special characteristics of this tense, now let's see one by one, the formula and
examples. Oh yes, there is a note, the 'S' in the following formulas indicates the subject, and after the past participle can be
followed by other additional information
