Next, we are going to learn the perfect tenses:

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE

 We use the past participle to talk about actions or situations that finished in the past. We use the present perfect to talk about actions or situations that started in the past  and continue  in the present, or when we are not specifying a time.

STRUCTURE: Subject+have/has+past participle.
Examples: Helena and Elena have done this blog.
We usually use alredy, just and yet in the present perfect tense.
JUST: It means a short time ago; something that you have recently done.
Examples: I have just bought a sandwich
                 She has just finished her homework.

ALREADY: It's used to say something has happened early.
 Examples: I have already sent the letter.
                  Maria del Mar has already explained the lesson.


YET: It's used to talk about something which is expected to happen. It is use in questions and negatives.
Examples: Have you seen the new film yet?
