 note = {While the English present perfect is marked by certain properties that are absent in the preterit, these properties are not always displayed in the present perfect in many other languages,or in the past perfect or the infinitival perfect in English. The problem concerns the long-standing query about how the preterit and the perfect should be structurally distinguished.The paper explores the relation between Tense and the perfect,and defends the view that the perfect is subsumed under Tense and involves the time-ordering predicate［＋past］.The temporal construal in different types of infinitives provides support for the tense-based analysis of the perfect, and the Sequence of Tense effects observed in the perfect are given a coherent account based on the proposed analysis.},
