The (Present) Perfect Song!

Ah, Present Perfect! The mysterious and incomprehensible tense that gives headache to so many students of English. Rather than remembering the formulas (although they are useful sometimes!) when to use Present Perfect, see it in action!  The Irish rock band, U2, have created a perfect song in Present Perfect. It tells a story of what a person has done so far in their lives in search of their happiness.

So every time you want to talk about of what you have done so far in your life, just think about this song!

*** PS. Can you spot a mistake with past participle in the song?
