The Present Perfect tense is used to express an action that happened in the past but is still relevant to the present. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb 'have' + the past participle of the verb. The Present Perfect is used to talk about a completed action that happened at an unspecified time before now. It is used to talk about experiences or changes that have taken place, but there is no indication of when they happened. The Present Perfect is also used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still happening now, or actions that happened before a certain point in time, but we don’t know when exactly.
