Answer:

The correct answer is:

I have just cleaned your shoes.

Explanation:

Verb tense:

• The sentence is in the present perfect tense.


• The present perfect tense is used to talk about an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past but has a connection to the present.


• In this case, the action of cleaning the shoes happened recently, but the exact time is not mentioned.

Usage of "have just cleaned":

• The phrase "have just cleaned" is used to indicate that the action of cleaning the shoes was completed very recently before the present moment.


• "Have" is the auxiliary verb used with the subject "I".


• "Just" is an adverb that emphasizes the recent completion of the action.


• "Cleaned" is the past participle of the verb "clean", which is used to show the completion of the action.

Example usage:

• If someone asks you where their shoes are, and you have just finished cleaning them, you can say "Here are your shoes; I have just cleaned them."


• This sentence informs the person that their shoes are ready to be used because they have been recently cleaned.

• Using "has stolen" indicates that the action happened at an unspecified time in the past, and the emphasis is on the result or the current state of the CD player being stolen.


• The present perfect tense is also used when there is a connection to the present, such as when the speaker wants to report a recent event or when the consequences of the action are still relevant.


• For example, the speaker might want to inform someone that the CD player is missing and possibly ask for help in finding it.
