A “Bucket List”
3
bucket list (noun) – a list of the things that a person
would like to do or achieve before they die.
Examples:

going to France is the first thing I would like to do.
Learning how to speak French is another thing on my
bucket list.

4 ADVERBS:
Just, Yet, Already, Still
5
The adverbs “just”, “yet”, “already” and “still” can be confusing to
use in English.
“Just”, “yet” and “already” are often used in the present perfect
tense (to talk about actions started in the past and continuing into
the present).

Present Perfect: A Review
7
To talk about actions that have started in the past and continue
today, the present perfect uses the present tense of the verb
“have” (have, has,) and the past participle of a verb.
The past participle:
• Is formed by adding “ed” to regular verbs.
• uses the past participle form of irregular verbs

Present Perfect: A Review
8
EXAMPLES of the PRESENT PERFECT:
They have seen that movie.
She has finished dinner.
I haven’t decided which sweater to buy.

Adverbs: Just, Yet, Already
9
EXAMPLES:
They have already seen that movie.
She has just finished dinner.
I haven’t decided which sweater to buy yet.

The Adverbs: Just
10
We use “just”:
• when something has very recently happened.
• usually before the main verb.
Examples: (present tense “have” + past participle):
I have just been to Italy.
She/He has just finished breakfast.
They/We have just walked the dog.

The Adverbs: Just
11
Practice using “just” in the following sentences by using the present
perfect form of the verb.
Example:
1. I ________________________ (empty) the dishwasher for you .

The Adverbs: Just
12
Practice using “just” in the following sentences by using the present

“empty”
