3. Reglas gramaticales

3.1. To form the present perfect, the auxiliary verb "to have" is used in the present and the past participle of the verb. For regular verbs, the past participle is the simple form of the past.

3.2. Ways of use

3.2.1. The present perfect is used for actions that occurred at a non-specific time before now. The specific time is not important. Therefore, we do not usually use specific time expressions ("this moming", "yesterday", "last year" ...) with the present perfect. You can use the present perfect with non-specific time expressions "refrigerator", "Ever", "many times", "for", "since", "already", "yet" ...).
