D. Grammar

D. 1. Present Perfect Tense

We use the present perfect tense to show that an action or state started in the past- and continues to the present; e.g. Abhinav has been in Kolkata since 2001.

Forms of the present perfect tense:

I/we/You/they + have + past participle
We have seen the Golghar.
I have received your, letter.
Have you read this novel ?
He/She/It + has = past participle.
She has bought a new watch.
My English has improved a lot have/has + adverb + past participle.
I have never eaten Dosa.
She has always had a bicycle.

The difference between the simple present and the present perfect is that the simple present refers only to the present time, but the present perfect connects the past to the present (usually with for, since, always, never, etc.).

Examples:
Bihar Board Class 8 English Book Solutions Chapter 8 Measure for Measure 3
In many situations, with a present time expression (today, this week, etc.) we may use either the present perfect or the simple past. For example :

(a) Ankit has eaten four mangoes today.
(b) Ankit ate four mangoes today.
(a) We have learned five new words today.
(b) We learned five new words today.
(a) Ani has been absent twice this month.
(b) Ani was absent four times last month.
In sentences 1 (a) and 2 (a), the number may not be final. In sentences 1 (b) and 2 (b). the number may be final. In sen-tence 3 (a), the month is not finished. There is a possibility that Ani may be absent more times this month. In sentence 3 (b), last month is finished and the number four is final.
