The document discusses the present perfect tense and adverbs that are used with it, including already, yet, just, and still. It provides examples of how to use each one and explains their meanings. Specifically, it states that the present perfect is used to talk about experiences, actions that started in the past and continue now, and past actions that have present results. It defines already as talking about completed actions before expected, yet as unfinished actions expected to happen, and just as recent actions. Still is used to talk about unfinished actions expected to finish earlier. Examples are provided to illustrate the usage of each term.

continue in
the present:

We
use ALREADY to
talk about an action
that has been
completed before
we expected.
It is normally used in
affirmativeesentences:
"We have already had
lunch"
But it can also be used
in
interrogative sentences
such as:

already
begun?"
Position within the

is used in negative and
interrogative
sentences:

anything
yet

the sentence.
We use JUST to talk
about actions that
happened RECENTLY.

just
had a baby
girl" (it means the baby was
born a few days ago)
Position: before the

when we expected it
to finish earlier.
