Present perfect

• We make the present perfect by  using 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
• He, she, and it use has
• The rest uses have
• You make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes 'played')

Example: He has walked on fire.

(We / try / roller-skating)

(She / pass / the exam)
