14. 3- It is used to express actions that started in the past and continue to the present, the time period is not finished. We use for and since with this meaning. We use for with periods of time and since with points of time.

Have you ever spoken with a famous person?
The short answer is…
Yes, I have.
No, I haven’t
Yes, she has.
No, she hasn’t.
You can also make the negation by using NEVER
No, I have NEVER visited a place I hated

17. I have JUST watched the film I have ALREADY watched the film
ALREADY / JUST
To emphasize the time that “thing” took place you can use
YET, ALREADY, JUST, STILL
JUST emphasises the idea of close to the present

ALREADY suggests that something has happened sooner than expected and again is linked with present time and therefore the present perfect:
Do you want me to make the salad for supper tonight? ~ I've already made it. It's on the table
