E. LET'S LEARN GRAMMAR :
E.1. Look at these sentences from the lesson :
I have caught one! I have caught one! The Present Perfect tense is used to express actions which have just or already been completed at the time of speaking or writing. This tense expresses the very recent past :
They've just left.
It also tells of a state or situation which has started in the past and is continuing up to now :
I have lived in Patna for a long time. (I am still living there.)
The event may be a finished state or activity but the period of time in which it has taken place is not finished:
I have written a letter this morning. (the letter is finished and it is still morning)
It tells about an event with a present result : I have lost my keys.
The Present Perfect tense of any English verb is formed from the Simple Present of the auxiliary to have, followed by the past participle of the verb. Most English verbs form the past participle in a regular, predictable manner. These verbs are commonly referred to as regular verbs. The past participle of a regular English verb is furmed by adding the ending -ed t the bare infinitive of the verb. For instance, the past participle of the verb to work is worked.
I have worked. You have worked.

E.2. Past Perfect Tense
The Past Perfect tense is used to refer to a non-continuous action in the past, which was already completed by the time another action in the past took place. Notice that Simple past and Past perfect are generally used together with conjunctions like when, after, before and until. The Past perfect refers to the first action and Simple past to the second action.
The Past Perfect tense is formed from the Simple Past of the auxiliary to have, followed by the past participle of the verb.
The Simple Past of to have is had. The auxiliary had is often contracted 'd.
For example : i had worked . I'd worked.
