Talking about things which started in the past and are still happening- the present perfect

Last week we looked at the past simple and the past continuous. There is a third tense for the past - the present perfect.

It has the following construction: have / has + past participle 

	PP	Example
Regular verbs	Verb + ED	I have walked
Irregular verbs	3rd row verb list	I have eaten He has drunk

When to use the present perfect

1. When we talk about things that started in the past and are still happening (or still have an effect today)

Eg I have lived in Venlo since 2014

2. When talking about a period of time which hasn't finished yet

I have been to the studio twice this week

Saying "I went to the studio twice this week"  implies you won't be going to the studio anymore.
