Have you finished and Have you finish.
I'm confused how to use this two,
1) Have you finished your dinner?
2) Have you finish your dinner?
It is a question, and haven't happen/happened, why must we use "Have you finished your dinner"?
P/S: Happen/happened, I don't know which one to use in the sentence.

Use the -ed form. #2 is wrong. The present perfect ( have finished ) does indeed speak of the recent past, but your sentence is a question: we can ask easily about the past, and often do: Did you study last night?
- Use the -ed form.
