The present perfect is formed from two parts: a) In second position in the sentence is a simple clause with the auxiliary verb haben or sein. It is conjugated as in the present tense. b) The activity described in the sentence is expressed using the second verb at the end of the sentence. This verb is in a special form, the past participle. An example of the simple aspect is: Caden shops for tomatoes. The word shops is in the simple present tense, as opposed to the perfect progressive present, which would look like this: Caden has been shopping for tomatoes. The Present Perfect Simple is used, if an action happened in the past and there is a connection to the present. This action has just stopped or is still going on. There's no exact time expressed when the action happened. Key words: already, just, yet, ever, never, for, since, so far, up to now, not yet, lately, recently. The present perfect tense is not used with adverbs of past time. Examples are: yesterday, last week, last year etc. Cases where the present perfect tense cannot be used. We do not use the present perfect tense when we say when something happens. In such cases, we use the simple past tense. I saw Rani yesterday. (NOT I have seen Rani yesterday.) The verb go has two past participle forms: been and gone. We use been when we know that someone has returned from a place. Dad's been to the supermarket. (= He went and now he has come back.) We use gone when the person has not returned. Dad's gone to the supermarket. (= He is still at the supermarket.) Present Perfect Subjunctive in Spanish Worksheet. See more PDF Worksheets.
