Abstract

Recently, a lot of research has been devoted to the typological analysis of languages. The article examines the functional features of the Perfect in German, English and Chechen languages. A comparative analysis shows that these three languages have many similarities and differences in the formation and use of tense forms. The Perfect forms of the three languages differ in grammatical tenses in exactly the same way as the non-perfect forms. In addition to effective action, Perfect tenses are used in colloquial speech and denote action in the Past. The Perfect (Present Perfect tense) in German is more flexible, whereas in English and Chechen it is necessary in some situations to be expressed in other tenses. These differences and the reasons behind them attract the attention of many researchers to a comparative analysis of the category of time, in particular the Perfect.
