Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For — U2

Em Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For temos vários exemplos de present perfect, com verbos irregulares e iguais ao simple past:

"I have climbed the highest mountains

I have run through the fields (…)

I have spoken with the tongues of angels

I have held the hand of the devil"

Where Have You Been — Rihanna

Podemos ver o uso da afirmativa e da interrogativa do present perfect em Where Have You Been:

"I’ve been everywhere, man

Looking for someone (…)

Where have you been?"

Hello – Adele

Na emocionante Hello, Adele descreve uma coisa que aconteceu no passado e ainda tem ligação com seu presente:

"I’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There’s such a difference between us."

Have You Ever – The Offspring

Em Have You Ever, a banda punk Offspring usa o present perfect várias vezes para perguntar sobre experiências de quem está ouvindo:

"Have you ever walked through a room?(…)

Have you ever been at someplace recognizing everybody’s face? (…)

Have you ever buried your face in your hands? (…)

Have you ever felt like there was more?"
