We use the present perfect simple to talk about things that happened in the past but we don’t know or say exactly when, things that happened in the past but have a result in the present, states and time periods that are not finished, experiences, and things that happened a short time ago.
My father has been a teacher for twenty years.
They’ve travelled around the world helping others.
I’ve just thanked my teacher for being so amazing!
Be careful!
We use have been to talk about someone who went to a place and has already returned. We use have gone to talk about someone who went to a place and hasn’t returned yet.
They’ve been to the supermarket, and they’re tidying up the kitchen now.
