Совершенные времена (Perfect Tenses) обозначают дейст­вие, которое совершилось к определенному моменту в настоящем, прошедшем или будущем.

Present Perfect часто употребляется с наречиями неопреде­ленного времени (already, just, never, ever) и со словами, выра­жающими еще не истекшие периоды времени (today, this year, this month, this week, this morning и т.д.).

Present Perfect употребляется для выражения действия, ко­торое началось в прошлом и не закончилось к данному моменту, а все еще продолжается. Период действия обычно указывается с помощью предлога for (в течение) или посредством слова since (с тех пор как, с тех пор). В зтом случае Present Perfect переводится на русский язык глаголом в настоящем времени: I have lived here since 2000. - Я живу здесь с 2000 года.

Определенный момент в прошлом (Past Perfect) или буду­щем (Future Perfect) выражается обозначениями времени с пред­логом by - к (by 3 o'clock yesterday, by that time, by 8 o'clock tomor­row), либо иным способом.
