How do you express perfect tenses (have done, had done) in Creole? With 'te'? Adverbial expressions?

In Haitian Creole, we continue to use 'te' in past and perfect tenses.
*It's important to note that it's not uncommon for Haitians to omit the 'te' in past or perfect tenses, and speak of the past as if it was the present.
