Present Perfect Simple

Present Perfect Continuous
Like the other verbal forms this one also has two forms:
Present Perfect Simple:
The present perfect simple expresses an action that is still going or is stopped recently, but has an influence on the present.
It's compost by:
subject+to have(present simple)+the past participle of the verb of the acction+rest of the sentencie.
Ex.: The celling was white. Now is red. She has painted the celling.
Also we can form the negative and interrogative form.
Negative form: subject+to have+not(haven't)+the past participle of the verb of the acction+the rest of the sentencie.
Ex.: I haven’t walked for one hour.
Interrogative form:to have+subject+the past participle of the verb of the acction+the rest of the sentencie.
Ex.: have you walked?
Present perfect continuous:
We use the present perfect continuous for an activity that has recently stopped or just stopped.
It's compost by:
subject+to have+been+the verb of the acction+ing+the rest of the sentencie.
Ex.: I have been singing this morning.
Also we can form the negative and interrogative form.
