Just and already
Hello everyone,
Can we use "just" and "already" immediately after the subject as in the following sentences?
1. He just has gone.
2. He already had gone.
Or at the start of the sentence, as follow:
1. Already he has gone.
2. He has already gone already.
3. Just he has gone.
Regards,
JA

Essentially, no. There may be instances when using one of these expresses a slightly different emphasis and can be used, especially in colloquial speech, but generally they just sound wrong. Although I can't think of any examples where they would be technically right, someone may think of instances where they are!
