I have just 'come' home from school #1 (permalink) Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:49 am   I have just 'come' home from school
 

Mother: I want to prepare dinner. Have you washed the dishes yet?
Daughter: I washed the dishes yesterday, but I have not had the time yet to do it today.
Mother: Have you already done your homework?
Daughter: No, I have just come home from school.

Shouldn't it supposed to be "came"?

Hi,

'Come' is the right word in the last sentence. It is part of the Present Perfect= I have + come (past participle). ''Came' is the past simple.

Perfect! This is just what I need, to be reminded about the difference of past simple and participle. xD

Thanks Alan!
