Hello there, young learner! 📚 Today, we’re going to talk about the formation of the Present Perfect tense by adding “ed” and “en” to verbs.

The Present Perfect tense is used to show that an action started in the past and continues in the present or to indicate an action that was completed recently. 😊

Here’s how we form the Present Perfect tense:

1. For regular verbs, we add “ed” to the base form of the verb:
   • For example, “play” becomes “played.” 🎮
   • “Walk” becomes “walked.” 🚶‍♂️
2. For irregular verbs, we often change the verb itself. For example:
   • “Go” becomes “gone.” 🚶‍♀️
   • “Eat” becomes “eaten.” 🍔

Now, let’s see some examples:

Regular verbs:

1. She has played with her friends all day. 🎲
2. He has walked to school every morning this week. 🏫

Irregular verbs:

1. They have gone to the beach for their vacation. 🏖️
2. I have eaten all of my vegetables. 🥦

Remember, the Present Perfect tense is formed by using “have” or “has” before the verb. “Have” is used with plural subjects (like “I have,” “you have,” “they have”), and “has” is used with singular subjects (like “he has,” “she has,” “it has”).

Practice these sentences, and you’ll become a grammar pro in no time! 👏✨

2. They cleaned their room yesterday.
3. He visited his grandparents last weekend.
