- Present Perfect is used for actions in the past which have a connection to the present. The time when these actions happened is not relevant so there is often no time complement.
- Present Perfect is used for recently completed actions. Actions that take place in a recent past.
- Present Perfect is also used for actions beginning in the past that continue up to the present.
