B. Still, Yet and Already
Still
We use still to say that a situation or action is continuing. It hasn't changed or stopped:
- It's 10 o'clock and Abdullah is still in bed.
- When I went to bed, Mohammed was still working.
- Do u still want to go to the party or have you changed your mind?
Still usually goes in the middle of the sentence with the verb.
Yet
Yet =' until now'. We use yet mainly in negative sentences ( I haven't finished yet) and questions (Have you finished yet?). yet shows that the speaker is expecting to happen.
Yet usually goes at the end of sentence:
· It's 10 o'clock and Abdullah hasn't got up yet.
· I'm hungry. Is dinner ready yet?
· We don't know where we are going for our holidays yet.
We often use yet with present perfect ( Have you finished yet?).
Compare yet and still:
· Abdullah lost his job a year ago and is still unemployed.
Abdullah lost his job a year ago and hasn't found another job yet.
· Is it still raining?
Has it stopped raining yet?
Still is also possible in negative sentences(before the negative):
· She said she would be here an hour ago and she still hasn't come.
This is similar to 'she hasn't come yet'. But still.. not shows a stronger feeling of surprise or impatience. Compare:
· I wrote to him last week. He hasn't replied yet. (but I expect he will reply soon).
· I wrote to him months ago and he still hasn't replied. (he should have replied before now)
Already
We use already to say that something happened sooner than expected. Already usually goes in the middle of a sentence:
· ' When is Sara going on holiday?' ' She has already gone.' (= sooner than you expected)
· Shell I tell Fatima the news or does she already know?
· I've only just had lunch and I'm already hungry.
Tell me something about yourself...
- List 5 beautiful/exotic places (countries, cities, regions, etc) that you want to visit but that you haven't yet (hint: use yet)
- List 5 memorable activities that you have done in the past (hint: use already)
- List 5 things that you plan to do but that you may not have started or you may have started but not finished (hint: use still)
