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.
