00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,980
Hey guys, I hope you are doing well. Today, we are going to be talking about just and the present perfect.

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,900
So, let's review again the present perfect sentence structure.

3
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:20,679
So, in the present perfect, we have our subject plus have or has plus the past participle.

4
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:25,480
So, for example, I have run five kilometers.

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:34,539
Remember that we use has with our third person singular. In our third person singular, we have

6
00:00:34,539 --> 00:00:48,899
he, she, and it. So for example, he has won a cup. So now let's introduce the word just. We use the

7
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:55,960
word just when we want to say something that happened recently or after a short time. So for

8
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:09,799
example, I have just finished my test. You have just made dinner. She has just played football.

9
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:21,719
So, let's see how just fits into the present perfect. So, now we have our subject or person

10
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:29,519
plus have or has plus just plus the past participle. So before we had our subject

11
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:37,519
plus have or has plus our past participle. But now that we're adding just, we have subject

12
00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:48,459
plus have or has plus just plus the past participle. So an example, you have just

13
00:01:48,459 --> 00:01:58,120
read this sentence, or I have just finished this presentation. Remember, if you don't want to write

14
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:06,340
or say you have or I have, you can also use the abbreviation or the shortened version of I have

15
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:19,400
as I've, you have as you've, he has as he's, she has as she's, it has as it's, we have as we've,

16
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:29,340
and they have as they've. So now let's take a look at just with the present perfect and the

17
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:40,080
vocabulary that we are learning. So, for example, they have just had a good idea. So, we have

18
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:49,280
our subject, they, plus have, plus just, plus our past participle. So, they have just had

19
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:59,460
a good idea. Another example is, she has just made a new friend. So, we have our subject as she

20
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:08,520
plus has, because we are talking in our third person singular, plus just plus made, which is

21
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:19,639
our past participle. So, again, some other examples we can use are, I have just passed my piano exam.

22
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:32,419
You have just run five kilometers. We have just solved a puzzle. I have just won a cup.

23
00:03:32,419 --> 00:03:40,939
So these are some examples using our vocabulary as well as using just with the present perfect.

24
00:03:41,379 --> 00:03:51,560
So let's take a look at how we would make a sentence using we, just, and the present perfect with the vocabulary you see on the screen.

25
00:03:51,979 --> 00:04:01,400
So how would we make a sentence using the vocabulary you see, we, as our subject, just, and in the present perfect?

26
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:33,990
I'll give you a moment to think. So, an answer you should probably have gotten is, we have just made a new friend. So, we is our subject, have made would be the present perfect, but remember, in between have or has and our past participle, we put just, so we have just made a new friend.

27
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:44,910
or we've just made a new friend so a sentence and I'm sorry if my screen is covering this I can't

28
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:52,149
fix that unfortunately so I'll make sure to read it for you how about a sentence with you just and

29
00:04:52,149 --> 00:05:01,769
the present perfect so here we have our vocabulary of win a cup now to put that in the present

30
00:05:01,769 --> 00:05:11,290
perfect, and with just and you, we would say, you have just won a cup, or you've just won a cup.

31
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:27,860
So, now, how do we make a sentence using she, just, and the present perfect? So,

32
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:37,300
the answers you could have given are, she has just had a good idea, or she's just had a good

33
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:46,079
idea. So, remember, we have she, which is our subject, has had, which is our present perfect,

34
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:53,259
and remember, we use has with our third person singular, and in between has, have or has,

35
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:03,870
and our past participle, we put just. So, she has just had a good idea. So, thank you so much for

36
00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:08,689
watching. If you ever need to watch this again, please feel free to do so in order for you to

37
00:06:08,689 --> 00:06:14,949

38
00:06:14,949 --> 00:06:22,350
more example for you. So tying into what we just learned of the present perfect with just, I have

39
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:38,759
just finished writing a message to you all. I hope you guys can see it. So I miss you guys and I love
