7 The Present Perfect In English the Present Perfect is created by adding ‘-ed’ to a regular verb. For example: To walk – Infinitive form I walked – Present Perfect To watch – Infinitive form I watched – Present Perfect To call – Infinitive form I called – Present Perfect Can anyone think of similar examples of ‘-ed’ verbs?

8 The Present Perfect As we have seen in English the Present Perfect is created by adding ‘-ed’ to a regular verb. For example: To walk – Infinitive form I walked – Present Perfect There are also irregular English verbs that do not follow this pattern, for example: To run – Infinitive form I ran – Present Perfect As you can see, irregular Present Perfect verbs change the entire form of the verb.
