Present Perfect
FORM
[has/have + past participle]
The present perfect is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "has" or "have" with
the past participle.
Because the present perfect is a compound tense, two verbs are required: the main
verb and the auxiliary verb.

In Spanish, the present perfect tense is formed by using the present tense of the
auxiliary verb "haber" with the past participle. Haber is conjugated as follows: he
has ha hemos habis han.
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time
before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect
with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I
was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN
use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once,
many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
