1. Study the chart and complete the examples:

PRESENT PERFECT

ALREADY

YET

JUST

We use the Present Perfect to:

- talk about experiences:
"I've been to London twice."
- Actions that started in the past and continue in the present:
"I have worked as a teacher for ten years"
- Past actions that have a result in the present:
"She has lost her keys"
We use ALREADY to talk about an action that has been completed before we
expected.
It is normally used in affirmative sentences:
"We have already had lunch"
But it can also be used in interrogative sentences such as:
"Has the class begun?"
Position within the sentence: before the participle.
We use YET to talk about an action that hasn't been completed, but we expect it to
happen. It is used in negative and interrogative sentences:
"Have they arrived yet?"
"She hasn't eaten anything .."

Position within the sentence: at the end of the sentence.

We use JUST to talk about actions that happened RECENTLY.

"Dan and Kelly have had a baby girl" (it means the baby was born a few days ago)

Position: before the participle.

2. Change the following sentences into the negative. Pay attention to ALREADY and
YET! Use the short forms of verbs (haven't/hasn't) and do not add a full stop at the
end of the sentence.

a) My sister has already arrived home. .

b) Our neighbours have already cut the old tree. .

c) Alex has already finished his dinner. .

d) My parents have already decided to buy a new car. .

e) The teacher has already given the results of the last exam..

f) I have already bought all my Christmas presents. .

g) We have already washed the dishes. .

h) My cousin has already travelled to New York. .

i) Jane and Sara have already seen that film. .

j) She has already sent all the postcards.

In this exercise you have to put in still, yet, already or not...any more in the
underlined sentence (or part of a sentence).
