    Default Present Perfect

    Present Perfect = "has" or "have" + past participle

    • Tony Randall has died.
      It has happened.
      We have heard the news.
      I have finished vacuuming the floor.
      We have played that game.
      I have lived here for a year.
      She has lived here for a month.
