The present perfect tense is quite complicated to explain. It is used when an action that happened in the past continues to have a strong connection in the present. The best way to understand it is to look at some examples. They are followed in each case by a short explanation:

Mary has fixed my computer (My computer is working now and I'm happy about it!)
You haven't eaten very much. (Don't you feel well? Don't you like it?)
I haven't read his letter. (I haven't had time yet. What does he say?)
Have you seen my calculator? (- I want to use it now!)
