* The are at home.
* They are going out.
They have gone out (= they not at home now):
Has cleaned / have gone etc. is the present perfect
(have + past participle);
Regular verbs The past participle is -ed (the same as the past simple):
Clean -> I have cleaned finish -> we have finished start -> she has started
Irregular verbs The past participle is not -ed
Sometimes the past simple and past participle are the same:
buy -> I bought / I have bought = have -> he had / he has had.
Sometimes the past simple and past participle are different:
break -> I broke / I have broken See -> you saw / you have seen.
fall -> it fell / it has fallen go -> they went / they have gone.
