We make the present perfect tense form by putting the past participle form of the verb after has or have. The past participle is the third form of the verb.

We use has when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun. (E.g. he, she, it). We use have when the subject is a plural noun or pronoun. (E.g. they, we, you). The first person singular I also take have.
