Explanation

The present perfect tense is formed using the structure: has/have + past participle (third form of the verb). For singular subjects like 'He' and 'Grandfather', we use 'has', while for 'I', we use 'have'. The past participles for the given verbs are: get -> got, collect -> collected, study -> studied, begin -> begun, and inspire -> inspired.
