Present perfect simple y present perfect continuous son dos formas gramaticales que hacen referencia a una acción que inició en pasado. Ambas utilizan el verbo auxiliar have / has en tiempo presente.
De manera general, la forma gramatical present perfect simple indica que la acción ha terminado; y present perfect continuous indica que la acción continúa en el presente.
Present perfect simple
Los puntos más importantes para utilizar el present perfect simple son:
- Acciones terminadas.

- Acciones inconclusas, siguen sucediendo en el tiempo presente.
