Top answer
Use the present perfect aspect ( have/has + -ed verb form ) for events that continue from the past to the present, for past repeated events that are presumed to repeat into the future, and for past events that otherwise relate to the present in some way. Use the past perfect aspect (had + -ed verb form ) for the earlier of two past actions to emphasize the order of events or if the order of occurrence is otherwise unclear.
