perfect tense

Present Perfect Tense is used for describing a past action’s effect on the present: He has arrived. Now he is here. This holds true for events that have just been secluded as well as for events that have not yet occurred.
The pattern :
(+) S + has/have + V3 + O.
(-) S + has/have + not + V3 + O.
(?) Has/Have + S + V3 + O + ?
Present perfect is formed by combining have/has with the main verb’s past participle form:
— I have arrived.
A negation is produced by inserting not after have/has:
— I have not arrived.
Questions in present perfect are formulated by starting a sentence with have/has:
— Has she arrived?
