Tenses: past, present and future, sentence 2
"I've eaten breakfast" links the past to now (so I'm not hungry); "I ate breakfast at 7" just tells you about a finished time; after "have" you need the special form: gone, eaten, seen, so it is "I have gone", never "I have went".
Who acts: I, past, you · What happens: eat, link, not be, tell, finish, have · To what, where: breakfast, past, 7, you, special form · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Tenses: past, present and future» of the language course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, past, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
