Could someone explain the rules of present perfect to me? 😃

Absolutely! The present perfect tense is generally used to express something that has happened at a non-specific time before now, or when something began in the past and is still going on. It's constructed with "has/have" + past participle (usually verbs ending in "ed" or irregular ones).
For example, "I have visited Paris twice." Here, the specific times you visited aren't important, just the fact that you did it at some point.
Now, if an action still continues or repeats, like "I have lived here for 5 years," it means you started living there 5 years ago and still do.
While it seems tricky, it's just about practice, and before you know it, you're using present perfect like a pro! 😊📚
