§Grammar and usage

Adjective PERfect, verb perFECT.

Adjective PERfect, verb perFECT।

Perfect is an absolute adjective, so avoid 'more perfect' or 'most perfect' in formal English (though 'a more perfect union' appears in the US Constitution); the perfect tenses use have + past participle ('I have finished').

Perfect absolute adjective है, इसलिए औपचारिक English में 'more perfect' या 'most perfect' से बचें (यद्यपि अमेरिकी संविधान में 'a more perfect union' है); perfect tenses में have + past participle प्रयुक्त होता है ('I have finished')।
