## the present perfect tense 现在完成时 ##

[This description is from Wikipedia][]  
The **present perfect** is a grammatical combination of present tense and perfect aspect that is used to express a past event that has present consequence. The term is used particularly in the context of English grammar to refer to forms like “I have left”.

The forms are ***present*** because they use the present tense of the auxiliary verb *have*, and ***perfect*** because they use that auxiliary in combination with the past participle of the main verb.

*  He told me his name, but I’ve forgotten it.
 *  It’s the most boring film I’ve ever seen.
 *  I’ve written the email, but I haven’t sent it yet.
 *  Has it stopped raining yet?
