When do you use the present perfect?
The Present Perfect is used to describe events that happened at undefined points in time or very recently. You also use it for a finished action with a result in the present. For example: It has rained for two hours. Now the streets are wet. Signal words: since, for, ever, never, this month/week, today, just, yet, already, recently

How do you form the present perfect?
Use have/has with the past participle of the verb. The past participle (3rd form of the verb) is usually formed by adding "ed" to the end of the verb: watch - watched. But some verbs are irregular, you need to learn these by heart.
For example: "He has played tennis for five years". OR "I haven't bought Mum's birthday cake yet".
