Perfect verbs tell that an action is finished, or finished by a certain time. They use has, have, or had, plus a verb like walked or finished.
Present perfect: done at some time before now, or started in the past and still true. We have lived here since 2020.
Past perfect: done before another past action. By the time we arrived, the movie had started.
Future perfect: will be done by a time in the future. By next June, Ari will have finished fourth grade.
Perfect progressive shows something going on for a while: the baby has been crying for an hour. We had been waiting for twenty minutes when the bus came.
