1). Present Perfect Tense adalah tense yang mengungkapkan tentang gambaran bahwa sesuatu telah terjadi (atau belum pernah terjadi) sebelum sekarang, di waktu yang tidak ditentukan di masa lalu. Sehingga kapan waktu tepatnya peristiwa itu terjadi tidaklah dianggap penting. Contoh:
a. I have moved into a new apartment.
b. Has Mr. Roheli ever visited Mexico?
c. Mrs. Dini has already seen that movie.
d. We have never seen snow.
Catatan: Jika memang menemukan kalimat yang menyebutkan waktunya yang spesifik berarti kalimat itu termasuk 'Simple Past'. Contoh:
Mr. Roheli went to his hometown last month.
a. Mr. Roheli and Mrs. Dini have had four tests so far this semester.
b. We have written my wife a letter every other day for the last two weeks.
c. I have met many people since I came here in June.
d. I have flown on an airplane many times.
a. She has been here since seven o'clock.
b. They have been here for two weeks.
c. He has had this same pair of shoes for three years.
d. They have liked cowboy movies ever since I was a child.
e. I have known him for many years.
Catatan: Dari contoh-contoh di atas, perhatikan perbedaan antara since dengan for:
since + simple past/awal dimulainya kejadian.
for + lamanya waktu.
