When is the present perfect tense used?

The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past, but has a connection to the present. The present perfect tense is also sometimes called the present perfect simple tense. The auxillary verb "have" is always used with the present perfect tense.

* There is a connection with the past.
* The exact time of the action is not known.
* "For" and "since" can be used to state the time of the action.
* The action is not completed at the time of speaking/writing
* The action happened before you expect.
* The action has been repeated numerous time, and is expected to be repeated in the future.
