Present perfect gebruik je om te zeggen dat iets in het verleden is begonnen en dat nu nog steeds zo is. Je gebruikt have / has + voltooid deelwoord. regelmatige werkwoorden krijgen -ed We have lived in this city since 1999. vaak gebruik je woorden als: since – for – always – ever – never – how long? – for how long?

Bij onregelmatige werkwoorden is het voltooid deelwoord ook onregelmatig. Ruben has always been a fan of this band. Sarah has written poems since she was little. We have never eaten snails before.
