How do you form the present perfect simple tense?

To form the present perfect simple tense, you need to use the auxiliary verb "have" (in the present tense) followed by the past participle of the main verb. The structure is as follows:

Subject + have/has + past participle

For example:
- I have studied for the exam.
- She has finished her work.
- They have traveled to many countries.

Note that "have" is used with plural subjects (I, you, we, they) and "has" is used with singular subjects (he, she, it). Additionally, the past participle of regular verbs is formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb, while irregular verbs have their own unique past participle forms.
