B Already and yet
The present perfect is often used with already and yet:
They are getting on well with the new building. They have already modernizedthe warehouse,but they haven’t decoratedthe receptionarea yet.
Already is used in positive sentences. It often indicates that something has taken place slightly earlier than expected. Notice its position in the sentence:
Shehas already shownme the figure (not. She has shown already …)
Yet is used in questions and negatives. It shows that we expect an action will take place if it has not happened up to now. Notice the position of yet, and not yet:
Have you talked Peter yet? (not. Have you talked yet to Peter?)
I have not talkedto him yet. (not. I have not talked yet to him.)
C Finished and unfinished periods of time
The present perfect is often used with prepositions or prepositional phrases indicating periods of time that have not finished yet. Common examples are: today, this morning, this month, this year, so far, to date, over the last few weeks, up to now,etc.:
This month we have received a lot of complaints about late deliveries. (The month has not finished, and there may be more complaints.)
If we are speaking after one of these time periods, we use the simple past because we are referring to a period of time that has finished. Compare:
Have you seen John this morning?(It is now 11.15 in the morning, the morning has not finished.)
Did you see John this morning? (It is now 2.30 in the afternoon, the morning has finished.)
