American English
There are a few grammatical differences between British and American English:

information or to announce a recent happening:
I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?
The past simple is used with just and already:
I'm not hungry. I just had lunch.
`Don't forget to post the letter.' `I already posted it.'
Unit 15b Americans use the past simple with yet:
I didn't tell them about the accident yet.
Unit 24a In American English the forms I have / I don't have / do you
have? are more usual than `I've got / I haven't got / have you
got?':

Do you have any change?

with insist/suggest etc.:

This structure is also used in British English.
