Editor's Notes
Set dates for irregular verb exams
Nuria’s reflection
Yet and already are used when time span is still present, while just is used with past actions that affect the present.
It is more clear to me now how we use the present perfect to refer to past actions when we do not specify the time. Since we also use the present perfect with since and for, where time is important, that use of the present perfect was unclear to me.
He has just…
Just is used for a recent past action. Consequences arrive to the present (I am late, the teacher is going to punish me)
I have never….
Yet goes in final position
Yet and already are used to talk about past actions with results in the present = The dishes are not washed
TIME SPAN IS STILL PRESENT EVEN IF THE ACTION IS PAST
What is the difference between yet and already? Can you make this question affirmative
