PERFECT
Perfect
The perfect is a noun, as well as a verb form found in certain languages. The exact meaning of the term differs depending on which language is being described, but in principle the perfect is used to indicate that an action or circumstance occurred earlier than the present time, often focusing attention on the resulting state rather than on the occurrence itself. An example of a perfect construction is given by the English sentence I have made the dinner: although this gives information about a prior action, the focus is likely to be on the present consequences of that action . The word perfect in this sense means "completed" .The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Perfect (grammar)
