Can I use the word "already" in a past tense sentence.

Answer

You would use it with present perfect or past perfect:

I've already submitted the report.
I'd already submitted the report.

For your other sentence, use "The light is already on."

Answer

Also in America "I submitted the report already. / I already submitted the report." are correct, it depends on context. But submit must be in past tense.
