"I have just been informed" vs "I just have been informed"

It sounds better to say, "I have just been informed."

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

I have just been informed

This is correct

You can use this phrase in a professional situation to explain that you have just received some information.

Some examples from our editors:

  • I have just been informed that my services are no longer needed.
  • I have just been informed that our arrival time will be later than usual.

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • I was recently informed
  • I was just advised
  • I was just told

I just have been informed

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

It sounds awkward to use the word "just" right before the present perfect verbal phrase. Use it after the word "have" (or "has"). (This goes for the past perfect too.)
