Verb tense: ''Your mother hasn’t yet come round from the anaesthetic''
Hi, guys.
Today I was studying and I came across the following phrase: "Your mother hasn’t yet come round from the anaesthetic."
If I'm not mistaken, the verb "come" was used in a wrong way. Wouldn't the correct tense be "came"?

No. It just so happens that "come" is the indicative present perfect form of "come". Like "done" is to "do".
I have come = correct
I have came = incorrect. (albeit it can be commonly used by native speakers themselves, mistakingly so, of course. If you look at it from a correct grammar standpoint then you should always say "I have come/he has come/she hasn't come" and so on.)

Hi there!
Your sentence in Portuguese: "Sua mãe ainda não se recuperou da anestesia."
When using present perfect the correct structure is [Have/has + main verb (past participle)]. In the given example come in past participle is "come".
"Came" is not correct in the sentence because it is the simple past of "come".
The most important verb forms you should remember are:
Come (infinitive) - Came (simple past) - Come (past participle)
See you around!

Thank you very much to all!
