Present Perfect with for/since. The present perfect is also used with for and since to talk about actions that began in the past and continue to the present. • “I’ve lived here since 2004.”. • “I’ve lived here for 8 years.”. Since is used with a point in time, and means “from that point in time until the present.”.
The past perfect simple tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb had together with the V3 (past participle). The V3 (past participle) form of a regular verb looks just like a regular verb in the past simple: walk > walk ed / study > stud ied / stop > stop ped / create > creat ed. There are quite a few irregular verbs in English though.
1. I think it's because the past tense sounds somewhat awkward when the author is composing the email. We use the present perfect tense when we want to talk about unfinished actions that started in the past and continue to the present. 1. Well, at the moment you are composing the email, the action is unfinished. The email is still unsent.
