INTRODUCTION
The present perfect tense is a rather
important tense in English, but it gives
speakers of some languages a difficult
time. That is because it uses concepts or
ideas that do not exist in those languages.
In fact, the structure of the present
perfect tense is very simple. The problems
come with the use of the tense. In
addition, there are some differences in
usage between British and American
English. 4
