Experiences and storiesLesson 7 · B1 · 10 minutes

In this lesson

Tell a colleague that you have just finished a task.

The idea, simply

Three common words go with the present perfect: just for something that happened a moment ago, and already for something that happened sooner than expected; both go between have and the past participle. Yet goes at the end of a negative sentence or a question: I have not finished yet. Have you eaten yet?

Examples

  • I have just finished the report.

  • We have already paid the bill.

  • Has the meeting started yet?
