The Perfect Tenses

There are 6 perfect tenses you need to (re-) familiarize yourself with:

1. Present perfect 
2. Present perfect continuous
3. Past perfect
4. Past perfect continuous
5. Future perfect 
6. Future perfect continuous

Present perfect tenses

1) Present perfect: I have gone/he has gone/they have gone

• The result of something that happened in the past is still noticeable and/or important 

• Something started in the past and is still going on or it stopped very recently (just) 

2) Present perfect continuous: I have been going/he has been going/they have been going

• Something started in the past and has been going on until now (duration is important)  

She has been talking about her past for 15 minutes now.  

The secretary has been answering calls from the press all morning. 

• Something has started in the past and is going on until now and you do not like it (irritation)  

I have been waiting for you for almost an hour in the freezing cold.    

Past perfect tenses

3) Past perfect: I had gone/he had gone/they had gone 

When something happens after something else in the past, what happened first gets the past perfect.  

After the police had chased the thieves for  two hours, they were finally caught.   

4) Past perfect continuous: I had been going/he had been going/they had been going  

The fact that something happened before something else gets an added meaning: duration (that it went on for a while) is important.  

The parents had been worrying about Johnny’s fate for hours when he suddenly appeared.  

Future perfect tenses

Future perfect: I will have gone/he will have gone/they will have gone

When something is still in the future at the moment it is said or written but at the point in the future that is mentioned it will already be in the past.

In 2025 I will have finished my studies.

Future perfect continuous: I will have been going/he will have been going/they will have been going

Adds the idea of duration to the future perfect.

When dad comes home at six the dog will have been chasing his own tail for twenty minutes.
