Verb Tenses: Present Perfect

(Tiempos verbales: El presente perfecto)

1.1. Present Perfect
"Have you ever traveled to New York? No, I haven't" In this dialogue you can see examples of the Present Perfect. We use this form to talk about experiences from the past until today.
1.2. Present Perfect Continuous
"I have been studying English for 4 years". In this example we see the Present Perfect Continuous, which is used for actions that began in the past and continue into the present.
1.3. Present Perfect vs. Past Simple
Let's compare 2 sentences "I have read 50 pages this week", "I read that book last year". The first one is a recent action that continues today and the 2nd is a finished action.
