Best Answer

A perfect tense is one where the action has been completed (or perfected).

Some English speakers find the present perfect tense a bit difficult because it expresses action that began in the past but continues or is completed in the present.

This tense is formed by adding "has" or "have" to the past participle.

Examples are:

I have just finished my dinner.

They have built five houses to date.

A visible star has emitted light for thousands of years.
