Le Present Perfect est un temps du présent qui permet de faire le bilan d'une action commencée dans le passé.
Il se forme avec l'auxiliaire 'have' au présent, et le verbe au participe passé. Pour le verbe 'work', cela donne :
| Forme affirmative | Forme négative | Forme interrogative | |||
| complète | contractée | complète | contractée | affirmative | nég. contractée |
| I have worked | I've worked | I have not worked | I haven't worked | Have I worked? | Haven't I worked? |
| he has worked | he's worked | he has not worked | he hasn't worked | Has he worked? | Hasn't he worked? |
| we have worked | we've worked | we have not worked | we haven't worked | Have we worked? | Haven't we worked? |
| you have worked | you've worked | you have not worked | you haven't worked | Have you worked? | Haven't you worked? |
| they have worked | they've worked | they have not worked | they haven't worked | Have they worked? | Haven't they worked? |

Le Present Perfect est une des façons de traduire le passé composé français, une autre étant le Simple Past. Il faut donc bien distinguer les deux temps en anglais.
Le Present
Perfect s'utilise aussi dans les phrases avec "depuis" pour traduire le présent de l'indicatif français :
I have lived here since my childhood. = je vis ici depuis mon enfance.
Il existe un Present Perfect Be + Ving, qui considère l'action dans sa durée.
ATTENTION: La forme du verbe en 'ed' est le 'past participle'. Il faut apprendre la forme correspondante pour chacun des verbes irréguliers.
Pour les verbes réguliers, ce 'ed' se prononce:
[t] après une consonne sourde : he has worked, she has hoped, Peter has laughed
[d] après une consonne sonore ou une voyelle: this man loved, it opened, she traveled, she enjoyed, he ordered,...
Attention, les verbes terminés par 'y' précédé d'une consonne voient ce 'y' transformé à l'écrit en ie: she carried, he hurried, it dried, ...
[id] après les sons [t]: he rated, [d]: she padded
