In the Persian language, the distinction between Present Perfect and Past Perfect is crucial to grasp. The Present Perfect tense (کامل حال) describes an action that occurred in the past but is still relevant or connected to the present. It’s typically used to talk about experiences, changes, or accomplishments. On the other hand, the Past Perfect tense (کامل گذشته) relates to an action that was completed before another past action or event. In practice, sentences in these tenses often contain signal words, like ‘already,’ ‘just,’ or ‘not yet’ for the Present Perfect, and ‘before’ or ‘after’ for the Past Perfect.
