Structure and Use of Present Perfect with different adverbs: ever, never, just, still, already, yet, for and since.
Includes a little hint to the Present Perfect Continuous.
1. ALREADY JUST STILL YET We often use the present perfect with the adverbs just, yet and already : We use just for very recent events; just goes after the auxiliary verb have . I have just finished (acabo de terminar) The taxi has just arrived They’ve just finished
2. We use yet when we are expecting something to happen; yet normally goes at the end of a sentence , and it is only used in questions (the translation into Spanish is “ ya ”) and negative sentences (aún, todavía ): Has the postman come yet ? She hasn’t finished yet .
3. We use already when something has happened sooner than expected; already normally goes after the auxiliary verb have . Already can also go at the end for emphasis: She has already left She has left already She hasn’t left yet Ago denotes from the present moment to a point in the past. I met him three years ago
