In the previous section, we defined present perfect verb tense as describing a continuing situation or something that has just happened.
Remember, when a sentence contains a modal auxiliary before the verb, the helping verb is always have.
Be aware of the following common errors when using modal auxiliaries in the present perfect tense:
- Using had instead of have
