Animals cannot acquire any of the four characteristics of language because of physical and mental limitations.

These helping verbs always go first before the actual verb. <span>Perfect tenses serves a portraying the verb or the action word as something that already happened or is completed, thus the term ‘perfect’. If it is present perfect tense, it means that the action was already done relatively to the present (has/have with past participle).
