ALREADY,STILL, OR YET LEVEL 10

YET Yetis used to talk about something which is expected to happen. It means ‘at any time up to now’. It is used in questions and negatives.

YET Have you finished your homework yet? The speaker expects that the homework will be finished. I haven’t finished it yet. I’ll do it after dinner. ‘Yet’ usually comes at the end of the sentence.

STILL ‘Still’ is used to talk about something that hasn’t finished – especially when we expected it to finish earlier. You promised to give me that report yesterday and you still haven’t finished it. ‘Still’ usually comes in ‘mid-position’

ALREADY ‘Already’ is used to say that something has happened early – or earlier than it might have happened. I’ve already spent my salary and it’s two weeks before pay day. The train’s already left! What are we going to do? ‘Already’ usually comes in mid-position
