Abstract: Language has various semantic features of lexical verbs. These features are dependents of the tenses which used in that reliable language as per the context of its use. Every language has same tenses. Present perfect tense is usually divided into several types; however, analysis of tangible examples shows that such classifications into types depend on the context and on some semantic features of verbs. The paper flashes the interaction between such features and present perfect with the examples from the contemporary British novel. As per the context of the sentences, the situation of the meaning of sentence is changed. The discussed examples describes to the subsequent tendencies in such interaction: telic and brief situations usually indicate that the goal was reached, while the stative and durative situations usually entail continuation or experience long-lasting up to the point of speech (often in the progressive aspect).
