The present perfect tense has a number of uses.
现在完成时态有许多使用方法。
1 We use it to talk about experience.
1 我们使用它讨论经验

• Have you ever been to Australia?

When these things happened is not important – the focus is on the action/state, not when it happened.

If we say when we had the experience, we must use the past simple.
当我们说我们什么时候有的这个经验,我们必须使用一般过去时。

在有过去的时间时,我们不能用现在完成时。

2 We also use the present perfect to talk about things that are unfinished – unfinished states and unfinished time periods.
我们也用现在完成时表述未完成的事情——未完成的状态和未结束的时间区间
