But this may help us explain another verb tense--the present perfect.
但这可以帮助我们解释另一种动词时态——现在完成时。
That's right!
没错！
When we ask about someone's experience--for example, seeing a movie, hearing a song or reading a book, we use the present perfect.
当我们询问某人的经历时——例如，看电影、听歌或读书，我们用现在完成时。
It's the tense we use for a past event that is important to the present.
我们用现在完成时来描述对现在来说很重要的过去事件。
You asked me, "Have you seen the Godzilla movie?", because it's important to your invitation.
你问我，“你看过《哥斯拉》这部电影吗？”，因为它对你的邀请很重要。
That's perfect!
太完美了！
Besides, if you have seen the movie once, you probably would not want to see it again.
此外，如果你已经看过一次这部电影了，你可能就不想再看一次了。
You might be bored.
你可能会觉得无聊。
Good point. Back to the present perfect--to make it, use the auxiliary verb "have" with a past participle.
说得好。回到现在完成时——结构是：助动词“have”+过去分词。
I've read that we also use the present perfect to talk about something in the very recent past.
我曾看到过我们也用现在完成时来谈论最近发生的事情。
Like this: I've just finished reading this new book of poetry by Amanda Gorman.
比如：我刚刚读完阿曼达·戈尔曼的这本新诗集。

《我们攀登的山》？她是一位出色的诗人。
I've seen her on TV but I haven't read her book.
我在电视上看见过她，但还没读过她的书。
One more thing about the grammar--did you notice we often use the short forms, "I've" or "I haven't"?
关于该语法还有一件事——你注意到我们经常使用缩写形式“I've”或“I haven't”了吗？
That's really common when we answer questions with the present perfect.
