Present perfect + already/just/yet

Goals:

*You know how to use already, just and yet in a

  a present perfect sentence

Study these notes: 

Just, already or yet?

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.
Between the two verbs

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?

Just usually comes in mid-position. Between the two verbs

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.
