Present Perfect Affirmative Statements

Present Perfect Affirmative Statements

To form the present perfect:  we use "have" / "has" + the past participle.

Note: You can also use contractions:  I have = I've;  you have = you've;  he has = he's;  she has = she's   we have = we've;  they have = they've

To form the past participle:  add "ed" to the infinitive form of regular  verbs. We use the same form for each subject (e.g., I, you, he).
