Just, yet, already, ever and never with the Present Perfect Tens
Could you tell me when to use just, yet, alredy, ever and never with the Present Perfect Tense. I know where to put these adverbs in a sentence (at the end of a sentence OR between the helping verb and the main verb), but I am not sure which of these can go with questions and negative sentences.
Could you pleas sort the wrong sentences out and give the summary rules for all adverbs:
1)
a) I've just washed my hair.
b) I've already washed my hair.
c) I've washed my hair yet.
d) I've ever washed my hair.
e) I've never washed my hair.
2)
a) Have you just played the basketball?
b) Have you played the basketball yet?
c) Have you already played the basketball?
d) Have you ever played the basketball?
3)
a) He hasn't just learned to drive.
b) He hasn't learned to drive yet.
c) He hasn't already learned to drive.
d) He hasn't ever learned to drive.
4)
a) She's just learned a foreign language.
b) She's learned a foreign language yet.
c) She's already learned a foreign language.
d) She's never learned a foreign language.
5)
a) Has it just stopped raining?
b) Has it stopped raining yet?
c) Has it already stopped raining?
d) Has it ever stopped raining?
Thank you very much,
