El Perfecto

Por qu se llama el perfecto?

Es mejor que todos los otros tiempos?
NO!
Perfecto significa ____________________ .
Present Perfect en ingles

I have read that book.

I have lived here for five years.

____________________ means ____________________ All ______________________ tenses are by definition,

therefore, ____________________ tenses.
So whats the ____________________ between I have read that book. And I read that book?
The ____________________ in this case is how we ____________________ the action. If we say, I have (or Ive) read
that book, we see it as ____________________ but having ____________________ on the present. We might want to
discuss it. I read that book means its over and done with.
I have lived here for five years. That means not only have I ____________________ this place for the past five years, but
also that I ____________________ to live here. Sometimes the ____________________ means that the action is
____________________ but still going on in the present, and sometimes it means that the action still has
____________________ on the present.

Ive eaten five candy bars And maybe Ill eat some more! (Action may ____________________.)

Ive eaten five candy barsAnd thats why my stomach hurts. (Influence on the ____________________.)

____________________ or ____________________ in Spanish) is the ____________________ of the
____________________.

Both actions (____________________ and ____________________) are in the ____________________. But the eating
happened ____________________ the arriving. So arrived is ____________________, and ____________________
is the past of thatthe ____________________ of the ____________________.
