How it works
For something that happened a moment ago, use have / has + just + past participle: I have just sent it, he has just replied.
Good to know
Just goes between have and the participle (not "I just have sent"). Use the participle, not the base verb (not "I have just send").
send I have just sent (not "I have just send")
