Наречия и сочетания, употребляемые с глаголами в Present Perfect
just - только что
already – уже (в утвердительных предложениях)
yet – уже ( в вопросительных предложениях;
ещѐ не ( в отрицательных предложениях)

Present Perfect or Past Simple?
Изучающие язык, часто допускают ошибки, употребляя Present Perfect вместо
Past Simple и наоборот, поскольку оба времени выражают прошедшее
действие, закончившееся до настоящего момента, и соответствуют в русском
языке прошедшему времени глагола совершенного и несовершенного вида.
Однако, Past Simple и
Present Perfect коренным образом отличаются друг от
друга.
Past Simple выражает действие, совершившееся в истекшем отрезке времени,
констатирует факт совершения действия в прошлом. Past Simple употребляется
в повествовании, т.е. при изложении событий, имевших место в прошлом, или в
разговоре о прошлых событиях.
Present Perfect выражает действие, хотя и совершившееся в прошлом, но
связанное с настоящим благодаря наличию его результата в настоящем
времени. Поэтому, Present Perfect употребляется не в повествовании, а в
разговоре или сообщении, касающемся положения вещей в настоящее время.
Present Perfect
Past Simple
I have finished my work and I am going
home now.
I finished my work and went home.
Я окончил работу и иду теперь домой. Я окончил свою работу и ушѐл домой.

you post it at once?
The manager signed the letter, and I
posted it at once.

можете ли вы отправить его
немедленно?
