सांस्कृतिक नोट्स
British speakers are very strict about using Present Perfect with 'just', 'already', and 'yet'. Using Simple Past ('I already ate') sounds very American to them.
In the US, it is extremely common to use the Simple Past with these adverbs, especially in casual speech.
Using 'already' in a workplace can signal efficiency, but using 'yet' in a question can sometimes sound impatient if not phrased politely.
The Present Perfect construction (have + participle) developed in Old English but became standard in Middle English. 'Already' comes from 'all' + 'ready' (fully prepared).

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
Yes! Use it when you are surprised. `Have you finished already?` means 'Wow, that was fast!'
`Just` is much more immediate (seconds or minutes ago). `Recently` can mean days or weeks ago.
Only as a conjunction meaning 'but' (e.g., `Yet, he didn't give up`). As a time marker, it stays at the end.
In British English, yes. In American English, it's perfectly fine. For exams, use `I've just done it`.
Because `yet` implies that the action will happen in the future, while `already` implies it happened in the past.
No, `just` as a time marker for 'a moment ago' is only for past or perfect tenses.
In the Simple Past, it goes before the verb: `I already ate`.
99% of the time, yes. In very formal English, you might see `I have not yet seen it`, but it's rare.
