The document explains the three perfect tenses - present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect - using a timeline to visualize when each tense occurs. It uses the example of taking Fred the iguana for a walk to illustrate the tenses. The present perfect is used for actions between now and the past. The past perfect is used for actions before another past action. The future perfect is used for actions that will be completed by a specific time in the future.

Starring Fred the Iguana
We know there are three perfect tenses: 1. Present Perfect (has/have + past participle) 2. Past Perfect (had + past participle) 3. Future Perfect (will have + past participle) .But how do we know when to use them? How about trying a timeline?
Draw a line and imagine that time runs along this line. Now, imagine you are taking your pet iguana, Fred, for a walk along this line. You are in the here and now, the present. On our line, this is the middle. The Present
Behind you is the past, where you once were. Before you were on the street youre on now, you had been on a different street. This is the past perfect. The Past Perfect (had + past participle) The Past The Present
In the future, you will arrive home. When you arrive home, you will have finished your walk with Fred the Iguana. This is the future perfect. The Future Perfect (will have + past participle) The Past Perfect The Past The Present The Future
BUT were not finished! When you arrive home, your mom asks you, Have you fed Fred? He looks hungry! You think back on the whole day, and you respond, Mo-oom! Fred has already eaten 6 times today! Because its happened at an indefinite time between now and the past, this is the present perfect. The Past Perfect The Future Perfect The Past The Present The Future The Present Perfect (has/have + past participle)
These are the three perfect tenses: 1. Present Perfect (has/have + past participle) We use it to show an action that occurred in the past and still happens today or an action that happened at an indefinite time. 2. Past Perfect (had + past participle) We use it to show past actions that occurred before another action in the past. 3. Future Perfect (will have + past participle) We use it to show actions that will be completed by a specific time in the future.
Good luck! The end. Thanks, Fred.
