Tips for Using ever / never / just / already / yet

1. Look at time meaning first

Think: Is it about experience, recent action, or something not finished?

2. Use ever in questions 

• Have you ever…?

It asks about experience at any time in your life.

3. Use never for negative experience 

• I have never visited London.

Do not use not with never.

4. Use just for very recent actions 

• I have just finished my test.

It means a short time ago.

5. Use already for earlier than expected 

• She has already booked the exam.

Often used in positive sentences.

6. Use yet in negatives and questions 

• I haven’t received the result yet.

• Have you finished yet?

Usually comes at the end of the sentence.

7. Check sentence type

• Question → often ever / yet

• Negative → often never / yet

• Positive → often just / already
