2. PRESENTE PERFEC SIMPLE +JUST/FOR/SINCE
RULES DEL JUST
"JUST" IS USED FOR ACTIONS OR EVENTS THAT OCCURRED RECENTLY AND AS SUCH CAN BE TRANSLATED AS "FINISH" OR
"JUST". AS WITH "ALREADY", "JUST" COMES BEFORE THE VERB OR BETWEEN THE AUXILIARY AND THE VERB IN THE
SENTENCE.
FIRST MEANING:
LIKE I TOLD YOU, IT MEANS "ONLY" (WITH ACCENT) OR "BUT" BOTH REFER TO "ONE OR UNIVOCAL". AS IN SPANISH,
"JUST" CAN BE USED AS "MOSTLY OR ONLY“
I JUST TRIED TO HELP YOU. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU
JUST GOING AFTER THE PRONOUN BEFORE THE VERB. THUS MOST OF THE ENGLISH ADVERBS ARE USED, ALTHOUGH
ADVERBS CAN BE PLACED ANYWHERE, AS IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH GRAMMARS HAVE NO PREDETERMINED PLACE. BUT
IT IS THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED.
SECOND MEANING:
- MEANS "NEW" OR "RECENTLY", IE, IT REFERS TO AN EVENT THAT JUST HAPPENED. IT ALSO REFERS TO SOMETHING
YOU'RE FINISHING RIGHT NOW (RIGHTLY OR RIGHT) OR TO "ACCURACY" (FAIR, ACCURATE).
JUST MARRIED
I HAVE JUST DONE IT
THIRD ALTERNATIVE MEANING (NOT VERY COMMON)
I WOULD NOT COUNT IT AS A STABLE USE. THERE ARE SOME BUILDINGS THAT ARE INTERPRETED AS "REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY“
I JUST WANNA DO IT

4. EXERCISES
HAVE YOU SEEN JOHN ANYWHERE? (YES / I / JUST / SEE / HIM)

5. RULES DE
FOR/SINCE
WE USE AN EXPRESSION WITH PREPOSITIONS 'FOR'
OR 'SINCE' TO INDICATE HOW LONG IT TAKES
PERFORMING AN ACTION.
TO EXPRESS THE DURATION OF AN ACTIVITY WE
CAN SAY THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES DOING.
THEN USE THAT AMOUNT BEHIND THE 'FOR'
PREPOSITION.

6. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SINCE" AND "FOR"
• WE USE BOTH SINCE AND FOR TO SAY HOW LONG SOMETHING HAS
BEEN HAPPENING:
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SINCE 8 O'CLOCK.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR TWO HOURS.
WE USE "SINCE" WHEN WE SAY THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD (8
O'CLOCK).
WE USE "FOR" WHEN WE SAY THE PERIOD OF TIME (TWO HOURS).
•
