has?

I'm always confused with these sorts of sentences
If someone asks for sugar in a cafe
should you say
He (The barista) has already put it in
or
He already put it in

I tend to use the first one simply because it sounds normal
  

Top answer

He has already put it in. (Present perfect) (He did it sometime ago in the near past) He put it in. (Simple past) (He did it in the past)

  • He has already put it in.
  • (Present perfect) (He did it sometime ago in the near past) He put it in.
  • (Simple past) (He did it in the past)
