Present: am/is/are
Present perfect: has/have been (Auxiliary: has/have; past participle: been)

have is not used to make a present participle. No. The present participle

Hi Bw,
As a small additional note, you don't say "He died from the war',
You say 'He died in the war'.
Best wishes, Clive

Once again thanks.
