 To make the positive present perfect tense, use:
 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
 Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes
'played')
 There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study'
becomes 'studied')
 We also have some completely irregular verbs

(Also, here's some help if you are not sure how to pronounce '-ed' at the end of a verb).

Positive Positive Short Form

I have played I've played
you have worked you've worked
he has written he's written
she has walked she's walked
it has rained it's rained
we have travelled we've travelled
they have studied they've studied
