Present Perfect Simple
El Present Perfect Simple se usa para conectar el pasado con el presente. Lo formamos con have / has + el participio pasado. Para la mayoría de los verbos, el participio pasado es el mismo que la forma Past Simple (por ejemplo, play → played).
Algunos verbos cambian su ortografía (por ejemplo, study → studied), y muchos son irregulares (por ejemplo, go → gone, write → written). Puedes encontrar una lista completa de verbos irregulares en las lecciones relacionadas abajo.
