📌 Explanation:
- Use
have with I, you, we, they.
- Use
has with he, she, it.
- The
past participle of regular verbs ends in
-ed, but irregular verbs (like *eat → eaten*, *write → written*, *do → done*, *speak → spoken*) have special forms.
- "Yet" goes at the end in questions and negative sentences; "already" goes in the middle for positive sentences.
This exercise helps practice forming correct responses in the present perfect tense.
