Употребление Present Perfect

Present Perfect часто употребляется с наречиями неопределен­но­го­ времени. Эти наречия ставятся после вспомогательного глагола или в конце предложения:

 

never никогда ever когда-либо often часто seldom редко already уже

just только что lately в последнее время, недавно by now уже, к настоящему времени up to now до настоящего момента yet еще (в вопросах и отрицаниях)

Например:

 

I'm sure we have never met before – Я уверен, мы никогда раньше не встречались.

Have you ever been to London? – Вы когда-нибудь были в Лондоне?

She has already seen this film – Она уже видела этот фильм.

They havearrived by now – Они уже приехали.

Has n't he come yet? – Он ещё не пришёл?

We have not done it yet – Мы этого ещё не сделали.

 

Причем с наречиями lately (в последнее время, недавно) и just (только что) всегда употребляется Present Perfect.

 

Например:

 

I have seen many pictures lately – За последнее время я посмотрел много картин.

He's (He has) just gone out – Он только что вышел.

 

Однако наречие just now (только что), не имея смыслового различия с just, традиционно употребляется с прошедшим временем (Past Simple).

 

Сравните:

 

I have just seen him – Я только что видел его.

I saw him just now – Я только что видел его.

 

 

Proverb: Curiosity [kjʊərı'ɒsətı] killed the cat –
(Дословно: Любопытство убило кота.) Сравни: Любопытной Варваре нос оторвали.
