A / When we use the present perfect there is always a connetion with now. The action in the past has a result now.
Example;
Tom is looking for his key. He can't find it. "He has lost his key".
' He has lost his key ' = He lost it and hasn't got it.
Have/has + lost is the present perfect.
B / we often use the present perfect to give new information or to annouce a recent happening;
Example
Ow! I've cut my finger. (Give information)

Present perfect with :( just, ready, yet )
Just = ' a short time ago ';
Ex ; Hello! Have you just arrrived ?
Already = something happened sooner than expected.
Ex ; ' What time is Mark leaving? ' ' He has already gone '
Note
The diference between gone ( to ) and been ( to ):
Ex;
1 / Jim is away on holiday. He has gone to Thialand. (= he is there now or on his way there.)
2 / Jane is back home from holiday now. She has been to Cambodia. = she has now come back from Cambodia.
