what's the difference between "I have finished" and "I have already finished"?
do we need to use "already"?

Best Answer

"I have finished" is indicating that you have done a specific task. While "I have already finished" means that you already finished but the sentence is more direct since you used already.

  • When used with the present perfect, it implies "before now." We use already to emphasize that something happened before something else, or that something happened sooner than planned. Although in some cases using already can be identified as rude behaviour.
