Grammar
Have/Have been
Can you guys explain for me:
When we use "have" and when do we use "have been" in present perfect?

'Have' + the past participle of any verb is the form for present perfect. 'Been' is just the past participle of one verb, the verb 'be'. Have been Have done Have eaten .

I have just come back. or I just got/came back.
And 'I have just came home' is wrong. (As Mister Micawber said), because:
-> come(s) (present form)
-> came (past form)
-> come (past participle)
Present perfect: 'have/has' + 'past participle': In this case: come
I have just come back.
