โ๏ธ Life Experiences and Recent News: Ever, Already, Yet, Just
In this lesson, you will learn how to talk about life experiences and recent actions using the present perfect. We will look at four special words: ever, already, yet, and just.
Talking About Life Experiences with 'Ever'
We use 'ever' in questions to ask about life experiences up to now. It means 'at any time in your life'. We put 'ever' before the main verb, right after the subject. The answer is usually in the present perfect with 'have' or 'has', and we often use 'never' to say no.
Showing Speed with 'Already' and 'Just'
We use 'already' to say something happened sooner than we expected. We use 'just' to talk about an action that finished a very short time ago. Both words usually go between 'have' and the main action verb.
Waiting for Things with 'Yet'
We use 'yet' in questions and negative sentences to talk about something we expect to happen soon, but it hasn't happened up to now. 'Yet' always goes at the very end of the sentence.
