Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the placement of the adverb 'already' in present perfect affirmative sentences. 
Option 1: True. This is correct because in present perfect affirmative sentences, 'already' can appear after the auxiliary 'have' (I have already eaten) or at the end of the clause (I have eaten already). Both positions are commonly used and acceptable in English, depending on emphasis or rhythm. 
Option 2: False. This is incorrect because the statement in option 1 is true, and the claim that both placements are not allowed contradicts standard usage. Saying it’s false would misstate the flexibility of adverb placement in the present perfect tense. 
In summary, the key idea is that 'already' in present perfect affirmative clauses is flexible in position: either directly after 'have' or at the end, and both forms are grammatical. The false option wrongly asserts that this flexibility does not exist or that one of the placements is invalid, which is not supported by standard grammar.
