PRESENTE PERFECTO

We use it for actions in the past that are important in the present

SIMPLE

To form the present perfect, the auxiliary verb "to have" is used in the present and the past participle of the verb.

Example

I have [I’ve] talked to Peter.

I haven’t talked to Peter.

Have you talked to Peter?

CONTINUOUS

It is used for actions that have started in the past but continue in the present

We use the auxiliary verb "to have" in addition to "been" (the past participle of the verb "to be") plus the verb + ing.

Example

They have been talking for three hours.

They haven’t been talking for more than a few minutes.

Have they been talking for a long time?

Uses

We use this time when we want to express the sense of the continuity of an action that has begun in the past and that still lasts in the present or that has just ended

Uses

The perfect present is used for actions that occurred in a non-concrete time before now.
