Present perfect
Hello.
I'm trying to make some sentences about present perfect when this tense relates to an action that still has an effect in the present, so I wonder if these examples are ok:
She has lost her passport. She will miss her flight.
I have lost my keys. How can I enter my house now?

Hello Latin I think you have learned the grammar of the present perfect tense very correctly. I might say " She lost her passport, and so she will miss her flight ". But your sentence is better, because it clearly states that she has not her passport now .

Hello latin,
Your sentences are true and you know the present perfect tense well.
I've got a question could i ask?
" I have been in Istanbul four years ago and it was the good holiday.
or
I was in istanbul for holiday four years ago and it was the good holiday"

Dear Yunus
The basic rules of Present Perfect in which you can't use specific time ,,as in your example ,,ago.
ago,yesterday,last week ,last month..............shows a specific time in the past and you should use past tense here.
Present Perfect ,,,we mostly use unspecific time ,,that means we dont use time words mostly
ex,,,,,,I have been in Antalya in 1993.
