Conceptualización

Present Perfect Tense

We can use the present perfect tense to talk about an accomplishment or a completed task. For example,I've finished my exams! (I am done with exams.)They've completed the new mall. (They completely built the mall.)

Past Perfect Tense

The past perfect tense is used to talk about an earlier past. It is usually used when we talk about two past events. For example,When I arrived, the party had started. (They party started. Then, I arrived.)George had wanted to go to the park until it started raining. (He wanted to go to the park. Then, it started raining.)
