When do we use the present
perfect tense???
For actions which happened in the past,
but we don’t mention exactly when.
Examples

has moved to Port Said.
●They have painted the whole house.
For actions which started in the
past and continued up to the
present.
Examples:

●They have painted the whole house.
We use the present perfect tense
for recently completed actions.

homework an
hour ago.

club
yesterday.
