Present Perfect definition

As a verb form, the most common use of the past
  participle is to form what are known as the
  perfect tenses (they are called "perfect" because
  they refer to actions that have been or will be
  completed).
Present perfect

In English, the perfect tenses are those
   formed by using a form of the auxiliary
   verb "to have" and following it with the
   past participle; in Spanish, they're
   formed by using:
haber conjugated ("to have") + past
   participle.
Just like in present progressive is estar +
   present participle.

 It may come as no surprise that the verb is
    haber, which is translated as the
    auxiliary verb "to have." As an auxiliary
    verb, haber in Spanish and "to have" in
    English are used to form the perfect
    tenses.
