PATTERN
1. To make the positive present perfect tense, use:
• 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
• Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular
verbs There are a few verbs that change their
spelling when you add 'ed’
2. The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after
'have' or 'has'
3. To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the
subject. As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just
put the question word before 'have' or 'has’.
