How do we make the present perfect?
Subject + have/has + past participle (voltooid deelwoord)
Subject | "have/has" | Past participle |
I/you/he/we/they/you | have/has | worked. |
Remember: past participle often ends with –ed, but not when a verb is irregular.
Subject | "have/has" | Past participle |
I/you/he/we/they/you | have/has | done. |
We use the present perfect when
- we talk about something that happened in the past but is still relevant at this moment.
- something started at a point in the past but is still going on.
