PRESENT PERFECT + EVER, NEVER, JUST, ALREADY, YET, SINCE, FOR

We often use EVER, NEVER, JUST, ALREADY, YET, SINCE and FOR with the present perfect tense.

We use EVER in interrogative sentences to express " at any time":

We use NEVER in affirmative sentences (but the meaning is negative) to express "at no time".

My brother has never travelled to London.

We use JUST to express a recently completed action.
Examples:
The cat has just caught a bird.
The guests have just arrived.
I have just finished my homework.


We use ALREADY to express that something has happened sooner than expected.

The boys are going to pack, aren't they? No. They have already packed.
Is Adam going to buy a new car? No, he isn't. He has already bought it.


We use YET in interrogative and negative sentences and it suggests a time later than expected.
Examples:
