--description--

Sometimes, it is possible that a verb in the Simple Past and in the Present Perfect are conjugated the same way. In this dialogue, James asks if Sarah has heard about Quantum Computing and then says he just heard about it. The participle form of hear is heard, just like the past form of hear is heard as well. Examples: On Monday, I heard you were coming to visit. (someone told me this on Monday). I have heard about the situation before. (there is no reference as to when). In both cases, heard is used. James says he just heard about Quantum Computing, meaning it happened a short time ago, probably minutes before the conversation. Just is used here to express that something happened a bit before the moment the conversation is happening. Example: I just saw him crossing the street.

Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
