What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • Present perfect links the past to now: 'I have finished the report' means it is done and ready.
  • Use 'for' and 'since' with it: I have worked here for two years. I have known him since 2019.
  • Past continuous sets the longer background action: I was cooking when the phone rang.
  • Don't add a finished past time to present perfect: say 'I saw him yesterday', not 'I have seen him yesterday'.
