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

The correct phrase is "I have just been informed." The use of the present perfect tense "have been" is necessary to convey that the action of being informed happened recently and is still relevant.

Some examples from our editors:

  • 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 been informed

This phrase is incorrect in standard English.

The phrase lacks the auxiliary verb "have" in the present perfect tense, which is necessary to convey the recent completion of the action of being informed.

Alternatives:

  • I have just been informed
  • I was just informed
  • I have recently been informed
  • I have been informed recently
  • I have been informed just now
