Welcome to this English grammar lesson about the present perfect tense. This is a very common English verb tense, and it can be a bit tricky for people who are learning English. It is one of the more advanced English verb tenses.  It is helpful to know it when you want to talk about actions where time is not important, time is not specified, or the action is not finished.Once you master the conjugation and usage, you'll be able to use it in sentences like, "I have studied English since I was a kid!" You'll notice in this sentence we're talking about something that has no clear start or end. The time is not important so we use the present perfect tense.I'll start by helping you learn how to conjugate in the present perfect for written and spoken English. This verb conjugation is made up of the subject, the verb "to have" conjugated, and then the past participle of the verb. I'll also make sure I help you learn how to use it in the negative, and how to form questions with the present perfect.I hope you enjoy this English grammar lesson about the present perfect tense! I hope you're having a great day!Note: This is the audio portion of a Youtube English lesson which you can watch right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySNOXSiBMo or find by searching Youtube for, "Bob the Canadian Present Perfect"Support the show
