The present perfect simple in English connects the past to the present using the structure has/have + past participle.
It is used for life experiences, actions or events that started in the past and continue to the present, accomplishments, or actions with a result in the present, especially when the specific time isn't mentioned or important.

The present perfect is formed with:
* Auxiliary verb: have or has
* Past Participle: The third form of the main verb (e.g., walked, eaten, seen)
Examples of Formation
* Positive: Subject + have/has + past participle (e.g., I have lived here for three years)
* Negative: Subject + have/has + not + past participle (e.g., She has not finished her homework)
* Question: Have/Has + Subject + past participle? (e.g., Have you seen that movie?)
Key Uses
* Life Experiences: When the time of the experience is not important or not known.
* Example: I have visited a lot of countries.
