The present perfect is formed with the verb have and a past participle
which is usually identical to the past tense form of a verb.
Many verbs though have irregular past participles.
When have is used in the present progressive, it can be contracted
with the preceding pronoun.
The present progressive is negated with not. When not is present,
have can be contracted with not but it can't be contracted
with the preceding pronoun.
To ask a question, have is brought to the front of the sentence.
When have is not used in the present progressive, it is not contracted
with not or a preceding pronoun and questions are not formed by bringing
it to the front.
