Grammar
Using "just" in simple past and present perfect
May I ask which one is correct or are they all correct?:
I have just called him.
I just called him.
I have just finished my homework.
I just finished my homework.
Are they different in meaning?
Thanks!!

I believe the "just" makes them the same. (They're all correct.)
Without it, and without other context, both could mean at any time in the past. (My homework is / has been completed.)
