Present perfect: 'just',

'yet', 'still' and 'already'

Presentation Bren Rivs


JUST

Just used with the present perfect means 'a short time before'.

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?!

Just comes between the auxiliary verb (have/has) and the past participle.
YET

Yet used with the present perfect means 'at any time up to now'. We use it
to emphasise that we expect something to happen soon. Yet (in this context)

is only used in negative sentences and questions.


Have you finished your homework yet?
I haven't finished it yet. I'll do it after dinner.
A. Where's Sam? B: He hasn't arrived yet.

Yet comes at the end of the sentence or question.


still
ALREADY

Already used with the present perfect means 'before now'. We use it to
emphasise that something happened before something else or earlier than
expected.

I've already spent my salary and it's two weeks before payday.
He wanted to see Sudden Risk but I've already seen it.
The train's left already!
Already can come between the auxiliary and the main verb or at the end of
the clause.

Do this exercise to test your grammar again.


STILL
Thanks
