English question Hi, there Could you help me with a few questions? 1) Do you say "Upper-right-hand corner" or "Upper right-hand corner"? And "Top right corner" or "Top-right corner"? "Upper rightmost" or "upper-rightmost"? 2) When something just happened, do you use the present perfect? "Have you already had lunch/eaten?" "Did you already have lunch/eat?" What would you say? And "I've cleaned up my room" or "I cleaned up my room"? 3) Finally, would you say Two people are studying for a test, but they seem to be having/had had/have been having a pretty rough go of it so far." Please Thank you!!

1) I would personally spell it "upper right-hand corner". It just looks better. In english we don't normally join more than two words with a "-". I would say "top right corner." I wouldn't use "rightmost", it just doesn't look right to me, though I suppose you could. 2) We tend to use these verbs interchangeably, though "Have you already had lunch?" and "I've cleaned up my room." is technically better. "I've cleaned up my room" implied I just did it, whereas "I cleaned up my room" could've been at any point in the past. 3) If you are saying that right now they're having a rough go of it "They seem to be having a rough go of it." If you're talking about what they've done prior to this point, "They seem to have had a rough go of it so far." Are they still having a rough go? Will they keep having a rough go? We can't tell from the second sentence.
