Already, Yet & Still - Easy Exercises
A2 Level
Already, yet, and still show how an action or
situation relates to the present. Use already when something has happened before now,
often sooner than expected: "I have already eaten." Use yet in questions and negatives
when an expected action may happen later: "Have you finished yet?" or "We haven't left yet."
Use still when a situation continues and has not changed: "She is still asleep."
These meanings are common in everyday questions about meals, homework, travel, and waiting.
Position matters. Already usually goes between have/has and the past participle in present perfect sentences. Yet normally goes at the end of a question or negative sentence. Still usually comes before the main verb, or after be. The meaning changes with the time clue: finished before now, expected but not finished, or continuing now. Simple everyday contexts make these three words easier to separate because each sentence usually contains a clear clue about completion, expectation, or continuation.
