Malumunuz olduğu üzere; Present Perfect Tense 3 ayrı kullanıma sahiptir:
1. Simple Past Tense yerine (ABD)
2. Have/Has JUST V3 (Az önce tamamlanan ylemi anlatırken)
3. Zam.Teiminin önüne SINCE/FOR getirilerek geçmişten konuşma anına kadar devam eden ve ilerde de devam edecek eylemlerin anlatımında.

Burada ise Simple Past Tense anlamında kullanılmış olduğu açıktır. İyi akşamlar
