We use the Present Perfect Simple to talk about past experiences without saying when they happened, or for actions that started in the past and continue to the present. It is formed with have/has + Past Participle (V3).

Recent Changes (Often with 'recently' or 'lately') Subject + have/has + V3 She has felt stressed out recently.
Unfinished Past (With 'for' or 'since') Subject + have/has + V3 They have practiced mindfulness since January.
Negative & Questions has/have + not / Have + Subject + V3? Have you seen a therapist? I haven't slept well.

Chea, a university student at RUPP, and Bopha, an office worker in Daun Penh, are sitting in a quiet cafe near the Independence Monument in Phnom Penh. Both have felt very tired lately, so they decided to meet for an iced latte.

"I have studied for my midterms all week, and I am completely stressed out," Chea says, sighing.

Bopha nods sympathetically. "I understand. I have experienced burnout at the office recently. The workload has overwhelmed me since January. I have worked late almost every night."

They discuss how they have tried to improve their mental health. Bopha has started a daily mindfulness routine. "I have practiced meditation every morning for two weeks," she explains. "It has been a great coping mechanism for my stress."

Chea admits he hasn't built a strong support system yet, but he has tried to recognize his bad habits. "I have realized that drinking too much coffee is a trigger for my anxiety," he laughs, looking at his empty cup.

Bopha suggests he might benefit from talking to a professional. "My friend has seen a therapist, and it has really improved his well-being," she advises. They agree to check on each other next week, knowing that sharing their struggles is the first step to feeling better.
