The present perfect tense of a verb is used to describe an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past. It is also used to describe something that happened in the past and is still going on. The present perfect tense is formed by combining the helping verb have or has with the past participle of the main verb.

Ms. Taylor has recycled glass jars for years.

The past perfect tense of a verb describes an action that happened before another action or event in the past. The past perfect tense is formed by combining the helping verb had with the past participle of the main verb.

Until she started collecting cans, Marella had recycled only newspapers.
