Present perfect usages-I have just finished?
There are many usages of present perfect, and I want to know about "I have just finished."
B (Son) finished his homework before 0.0001 sec
A: Son, did you finished your homework?
B: Yes. mom. I (finished/ have finished) it.
In this case, people choose (have finished) to describe that he finished it almost now

Answer

It is the word “just” that conveys recentness.
“I just finished (it).”
“I’ve just finished (it).”

Mom: I’m dissapointed that you haven’t finished your homework yet.
Son: I have finished it, Mom. (Stressing “have” when speaking. Not necessarily recently)

Answer

Don't worry too much. In this specific context since it just happened a second ago I'd say: I just finished/I've finished. But just go with whatever comes to mind in the moment.

I will say, "I just finished," puts more emphasis on the fact that it just happened. "I've finished," just like that sounds like an announcement. You might expect feedback after. Very subtle.

Answer

B The son has finished his homework 0.0001 seconds ago.
A: Son, have you finished your homework?
B: Yes, mum, I  have finished it.
In this case, people choose "have finished" to describe that which they have finished almost then.

Simple past tense can also be used in all these sentences in the conversational English.

Answer

Thank you for your answer! ^^

Answer

Mom: Have you finished your homework?
Son: Yes, I have done it.
Son : Yes, I've just done it. (Contraction for: I and have.
Present Perfect in this case uses the verb: to have with the past tense of the verbs: to finish and to do.
