Just vs Already Exercises

Just and already often appear with the present perfect, but they describe different kinds of completion. Use just when something happened a very short time ago: "I have just arrived." The result is usually connected to the present moment. Use already when something happened before now, often earlier than expected or before another action was necessary: "I have already bought the tickets." Both words can make a completed action feel current, but they do it in different ways.

In British English, both words commonly go between have/has and the past participle: has just left, have already finished. The context decides the meaning. A clue such as a few minutes ago, right now, or I have only now heard points to just. A clue such as no need to remind me, sooner than planned, or before lunch points to already. Position and context work together, so always read beyond the blank before choosing.
