Just, Already and Yet

We use the present perfect (have/has + past participle) with these words to show when or if something has happened.

⏱️ 1. Using just

We use just to describe something that happened a short time ago.

✅ Examples:

  • I’ve just seen a great comedy.
  • She’s just finished her homework.

✅ 2. Using already

We use already to describe an action that has happened (earlier than we expected).

✅ Examples:

  • They’ve already finished the new series.
  • He’s already eaten lunch.

❓ 3. Using yet

We use yet in negative sentences and questions to talk about something that hasn’t happened but we think it will.

✅ Examples:

  • Have you watched it yet?
  • I haven’t seen it yet.

🌟 Quick Tip

  • just → a short time ago
  • already → it happened earlier than expected
  • yet → not happened, but we expect it (only in negatives/questions)
