Year 2

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Study these notes: 

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

Just, already or yet?

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Just

‘Just’ is usually used only with the present perfect tense and it means ‘a short time ago’.

• I’ve just seen Susan coming out of the cinema.
• Mike’s just called. Can you ring him back please?
• Have you just taken my pen? Where has it gone?

In the present perfect, ‘just’ comes between the auxiliary verb (‘have’) and the past participle (between the two verbs).


Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Yet

‘Yet’ is used to talk about something which is expected to happen. It means ‘at any time up to now’. It is used in questions and negatives.

• Have you finished your homework yet? (The speaker expects that the homework will be finished.)
• I haven’t finished it yet. I’ll do it after dinner.

‘Yet’ usually comes at the end of the sentence.


Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Already

‘Already’ is used to say that something has happened early – or earlier than it might have happened.

• I’ve already spent my salary and it’s two weeks before pay day.
• The train’s already left! What are we going to do?

‘Already’ usually comes in mid-position.
