INGLÊS Present Perfect: aprenda como e quando usar para não errar mais Usamos o Present Perfect para expressar ações ou situações que ocorreram em um tempo não conhecido ou não mencionado, para expressar ações terminadas recentemente ou ações que começaram no passado e que ainda têm algum efeito sobre o presente. O Present Perfect é um tempo verbal sem equivalente no português, por isso, dependendo do contexto, pode ser traduzido pelo passado ou pelo presente.
