زمان present perfect برای زمانی استفاده میشود که کاری در گذشته انجام شده اما اثر یا ارتباطش هنوز به الان میرسد. معمولاً با کلماتی مثل this week، this year، since، just، yet، already، ever و never میآید. ساختار present perfect simple: have/has + شکل سوم فعل برای وقتی که نتیجهٔ کار مهم است. مثال: I’ve eaten breakfast. ساختار present perfect continuous: have/has + been + فعل ing برای وقتی که مدت زمان یا خودِ فعالیت مهم است. مثال: I’ve been washing clothes.
