Answer explanation

already is a signal word for the present perfect tense

(have/ has + past participle)

It means earlier than you might think

"We have come to an agreement one week ago."

Is this the correct tense?

• Yes

Answer explanation

No, it isn´t. Ago is a finished past time ( like yesterday, last Christmas, when I was a child ) and so you need the past tense - we came to an agreement

"Sorry, I .....................the minutes yet"

• will not send

• did not send

• have not sent

• had not sent
