The position of adverb 'already' in perfect tense.
Hi teachers!
I have known that 'already' always comes between have and PP like in
1. I have already finished my HW.
However, I found the following sentence and wonder why the adverb comes after PP.
2. The train will have left already by then.
Thank you very much!

anonymous wonder why the adverb comes after PP It's a less used variant of adverb placement. Perhaps the writer thought the combination 'left already by then' sounded stronger. CJ
