*Auxiliary verbs * Usage ↓↓ -Perfect Tenses The perfect tenses in English explain the order of things. When we use present perfect, we are explaining what has happened up until now. Past perfect explains what had happened in the past before something else happened in the past. And future perfect tells us what will have happened up to a certain point in the future. All the perfect tenses use at least one auxiliary verb, have. I have visited Stockholm many times. He had seen many cathedrals, but none so grand as that one. The future perfect also uses will. We will have traveled to every country in the world after this trip. And the progressive perfect tenses also use be. She has been living in Sweden for 10 years. He had been touring Europe for 3 months. We will have been flying for 31 hours by the time we get home.
