Just, already, yet, still en present perfect

La regla

just/already van antes del participio; yet va al final (neg/inter); still va antes del auxiliar.

"Place just/already before the participle; yet at the end (neg/quest); still before the auxiliary."

Estos cuatro adverbios marcan el aspecto temporal en present perfect. "Just" significa recien ("I have just finished" = acabo de terminar). "Already" es "ya" en afirmativas y va entre el auxiliar y el participio. "Yet" se usa en negativas ("todavia no") y preguntas ("ya?") y va al final. "Still" es "todavia" para algo que sigue ocurriendo y va antes del auxiliar negativo ("He still hasn't replied"). La posicion es la trampa principal: cada uno tiene su sitio.
