Make meaningful sentences in the present perfect tense.
Notes
We make the present perfect tense form by putting has / have before the past participle form of the verb.
Note that has is used when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun. Have is used when the subject is a plural noun or pronoun.
The first person pronouns I and we take have. The third person pronouns he, she and it takehas.
The pronouns you and they takehave.
Fill in the blanks.
