Present perfect

have/has + the past participle.

We use the present perfect:
1. For something that started
2. When we are talking
in the past and continues in
the present:
about our experience up
to the present:

a. She has lived in Liverpool

all her life. a. I've seen that film before.
b. He has participated in
several BMX competitions

The first element is have or has, depending on the
subject the verb is conjugated with.
The second element is the past participle of the verb,
which is usually formed by adding -ed or -d to the
verb’s root (e.g., walked, cleaned, typed, jumped,)
English does have verbs that have irregular past
participles (e.g., done, said, gone, thought, felt, eaten).
