Present perfect - I've never been there Sun Jun 05, 2005 12:39 pm  Present perfect - I've never been there
 

We use the present perfect for things that refer to a period of time which started somewhere in the past and are still true at the moment of speaking.

How can something have happened (in the past of course) and later be true or false it doesn`t make sense to me!!!

Please give me a detailed explanation

Thanks in advance
