Present Perfect Tense

Hello everybody! My family and friends call me Present Perfect Man because I am very perfectionist and I like tidiness, I hate disorder and messy people. Please, do not play that music so loud! I have studied a lot since I was a teenager: Computer Engineering, English and German and now I have started to work in a prestigious software firm in Malaga called Properly Software. I have met a new girl in this company, her name is Lady Past Continuous . She has worked in the company for eight years. She is pretty and nice and she is my age, but Ihaven't found the perfect woman yet. Have you?We have just gone to a restaurant for lunch, we are good friends and have decided to go on holidays together. Haveyou ever been to Africa? I Have, but Lady Past Continuous hasn't travelled much.

 The Present Perfect Tense - When to use

---

We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about experiences. It is important if we have done it in our lives or not. It is not important when we did it. Examples    I have been abroad two times.    Anna has never broken a leg.    Have you ever eaten sushi? Tip! We often use never and ever with the Present Perfect Tense to talk about experience. We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about an action which started in the past and continuous up to now. Examples    I have been a teacher for more than ten years.    We haven't seen Janine since Friday.    How long have you been at this school? Tip! We often use since and for to say how long the action has lasted. We also use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about a past action that has the result in the present. Examples    I have lost my wallet. = I don't have it now.    Jimmy has gone to South America. = He isn't here now.    Have you finished your homework? = Is your homework ready? Tip! We often use just, already and yet with the Present Perfect Tense for an action in the past with the result in the present.
