LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Review of Literature
1. Present Perfect Tense a. Definition of Present Perfect The present perfect expresses the idea that something happened (or never happened) before now, at an unspecified time in the past. The exact time it happened is not important.^3 The present perfect also expresses the repetition of an activity before now. We use the present perfect when we want to look back from the present to the past.^4
b. Function of Present Perfect The main function of Present Perfect Tense is to reveal things, events or events that are in fact currently being completed or already occurring, without having to say when it was done or happened. These are details about the function of using Present Perfect Tense is as follows:^5
- To express the general terms or conditions which basically we know that at this time has existed or has happened time (without specifying the time of occurrence).

Example: Mr. Gus Dur has been elected the president of Indonesia Several banks have been liquidated The daily people‟s needs have developed
- To reveal a thing or job that has just been done. In that case, we usually use adverb recently, just, or already. Example: Floritte has already finished her study Recently, many companies have stopped their activities because of the crisis Mr. Boy has already made a new business
- To express the experience that has ever happened or has ever done, we often use adverbs ever, never, once and before. Example: I have never met Febby before I have ever been to Lake Toba I have once stayed in Hilton Hotel
- To reveal a thing or work that has happened several times, or (repetition of an activity before now) then in this case we do not need to mention the moment, or the time of the occurrence. Example: I have got two kinds of test this week We have held several discussions this month I have met Reza several times this week
- To describe the reality, situation or condition which have happened to certain moments that still exist until now and the verbs used are usually verbs that include non progressive verbs.
