My Favourite Singer I like music very much. There are several bands and singers that I especially enjoy listening. However, if I were asked who my favourite singer is, I would answer – Justin Timberlake. In my opinion, he is not only a gifted singer but also a good actor. His songs are all rather melodic. I have once seen one of his concerts and I should say it was an amazing show. Justin Timberlake was born in Memphis, on January 31st, 1981. He was singing and dancing from the very childhood and his musical idol was Michael Jackson. At the age of eleven he appeared on one TV show with a country music song. A bit later he became a cast member in the Mickey Mouse Club together with such future stars as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and JC Chasez. In 1995 the boy band ‘N Sync was formed where JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake became members. Their debut album was released in 1998. It was called ‘N Sync and in October of the same year it won the second place in the US hit parade. The album was sold in 10 million copies. In late 1999, Timberlake made his acting debut in the Disney Channel. Gradually, he became the idol of many young people. His solo career began in 2002 with a song “Like I Love You”, which he performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. His debut solo album was called “Justified”. He has released several other albums since then. Justin Timberlake is married to Jessica Biel, who is a famous actress. Apart from television work, Justin is involved in some business ventures and philanthropy. For instance, he owns three restaurants in the USA and he has been active in several charitable pursuits. He also set up his clothing line. I like almost all his songs but my favourite one is “What goes around comes around”.

Sure, I would be happy to help you with your question. The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions or situations that happened in the past but have a connection to the present. Already, yet, and just are adverbs that are commonly used with the present perfect tense to indicate the timing of the action.
Now, let's work on putting the sentences into the present perfect tense with the appropriate adverbs:
1. "I have eaten lunch." - This sentence is already in the present perfect tense, so no changes are needed.
2. "She has finished her homework." - "She has already finished her homework." The adverb "already" is used to show that the action of finishing her homework happened before now.
3. "Have you visited Paris?" - "Have you visited Paris yet?" The adverb "yet" is used to indicate that there is an expectation or anticipation for the action of visiting Paris to happen, but it hasn't happened up until now.
4. "He has seen that movie." - "He has just seen that movie." The adverb "just" is used to emphasize that the action of seeing the movie happened very recently.
5. "We have cleaned the house." - This sentence is already in the present perfect tense, so no changes are needed.
6. "Have they met the new teacher?" - "Have they met the new teacher yet?" The adverb "yet" is used to indicate that there is an expectation or anticipation for the action of meeting the new teacher to happen, but it hasn't happened up until now.
I hope this explanation and step-by-step approach helps you understand how to use already, yet, and just in the present perfect tense. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
