Study this situation:

• Tom is looking for his key, he can't find it.

• He has lost his key.

• He has lost his key = He lost it recently, and he still doesn't have it.

• Have/has lost is the present perfect simple.

• I / we / you / they = have

• He / she / it = has

Contractions (We use them just for affirmative statements)

• I have = I've

• You have = You've

• We have = We've

• They have = They've

• He has= He's

• She has= She's

• It has= It's

Present Perfect

• The present perfect simple is have/has + past participle.

• The past participle often ends with "-ed" (finished, decided, played, etc.)

• But, many important verbs are irregular (done, had, lost, gone).
