Answer Key:: I Have Broken A Glass

This document provides instruction on forming and using the present perfect tense in English. It explains that the present perfect is formed with the present simple of "to have" plus the past participle of the main verb. It notes that regular verb past participles end in "-ed" or "-d", while many irregular verbs must be memorized. The present perfect is used to talk about actions that started in the past but continue in the present, or past actions important to the present. Examples are provided to illustrate forming affirmative and negative statements as well as questions in the present perfect tense.
