Present Perfect for giving news with just, yet and already We use Present Perfect for giving news about things that happened in the past, but are connected to now. We don t say exect time when they happened. He s had a car accident. Pippa s just lost her job But, we use Past Simple when we say exact time something happened. He did that work for you last month. We use yet to say something hasn t happened, but we think it will happen in the future: I haven t received the money yet. We use just to say something happened short time ago, but we don t know or don t say exactly when: I ve just heard that Tim s in hospital. We use already to say something happened some time in the past (maybe sooner than expected): He s already had an operation. The words just and already go between the auxiliary and past participle in positive sentences. The word yet usually goes at the end of a question or negative sentence.
