is perfect tense allowed to use?

i have read somewhere that perfect tense could be used too

for example, he estudiado desde hace 6 meses. = estudio desde hace 6 meses.

is this piece of information wrong? when can we use perfect tense then?

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using desde (hace) with the present instead of the perfect tense to express since/for"

Hola Ashlyn

It's used sometimes but not very often. The natural tense to use for an action that has taken place "for some time" is the present: present + desde hace (time)

Saludos
