present verb
perfect
have / has
-ed / 3rd column irregular verbs (participle)
have / has changed
have / has finished
have / has seen
have / has enjoyed
......
Pay attention to the difference between this sentence: I've finished my homework and the following examples (there is an extra emphasis below):
just + present perfect simple verb
(+)
= a very short time ago.
I've just finished my homework. (acabo de)
already
(+)
= (used for emphasis) earlier than expected.
I've already finished my homework. (ya he acabado / ya acabé)
yet
(- / ?)
(used for emphasis) until now.
