Present Perfect Or Past Perfect Tense Worksheet For Class 6 CBSE

The present perfect tense is used to talk about finished events that are in some way connected to the present.

  • I have broken my leg. (This is a finished event; however, its effect is still present; I can’t walk now.)
  • They have left. (They are no longer present here.)

We use the present perfect to talk about finished events when we do not say when something happens.

Compare:

  • They have left. (There is no time reference.)
  • They went in the morning. (We use the simple past here because there is a past time reference.)
  • I saw him yesterday. (NOT I have seen him yesterday.) (Yesterday is a past time expression. We cannot use the present perfect with past time expressions.)

The past perfect is used to talk about the earlier of two actions. It is used to say that an action had finished before another action commenced. We do not use the past perfect to simply say that something happened some time ago. Use the simple past for that purpose.

  • I visited him yesterday. (NOT I had visited him yesterday.)
