How to say correctly. For example I finished my breakfast 5 min. ago.
So could I say "I have just had breakfast" or I should say "I have just finished my breakfast"?
thank you

ok, but if I say "I had breakfast 30 min ago" It means that I finished to eat 30 min ago or started eating?
thanks |

I'm not sure there is a specific rule for this, but it probably would be interpreted by most people as having finished 30 minutes ago.
