The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participleof a verb.

We use the present perfect:

  • for something that started in the past and continues in the present:

They‘ve been marriedfor nearly fifty years.
She has lived in Liverpool all her life.

  • when we are talking about our experience up to the present:

I‘ve seen that film before.
I‘ve played the guitar ever since I was a teenager.
He has written three books and he is working on another one.

We often use the adverb ever to talk about experience up to the present:

My last birthday was the worst day I have ever had.

and we use never for the negative form:

Have you ever met George?
Yes, but I‘ve never met his wife.

Have been and have gone

We use have/has been when someone has gone to a place and returned:

A: Where have you been?
B: I‘ve just been out to the supermarket.

A: Have you ever been to San Francisco?
B: No, but I‘ve been to Los Angeles.

But when someone has not returned, we use have/has gone:

A: Where’s Maria? I haven’t seen her for weeks.
B: She‘s gone to Paris for a week. She’ll be back tomorrow.
