YET TO:
DESCRIBES SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED AND HAS VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF EVER HAPPENING.

«I have yet to understand how Houdini escaped from the water tank.»
«Politicians have yet to understand how despised they are for their inaction.»
«That actress was nominated five times for an Oscar but is yet to win.»
«Berlusconi stands convicted of tax fraud but has yet to spend one day in jail.»

YET:
DESCRIBES SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED BUT IS VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN SOON; OR SOMETHING IN PROCESS THAT WILL CONCLUDE IN SOME NEAR PERIOD OF TIME. IT IMPLIES EXPECTATION.

«Mommy ties my shoes for me. I haven’t learned how yet.»

«Is the soup ready yet?»

NOT YET:
CAN BE A COMPLETE ANSWER WHICH A NATIVE SPEAKER WILL USE RESPONDING TO A ‘yet’ QUESTION.

«Is the soup ready yet?» «Not yet. It needs ten more minutes to get hot.»

«Did you cash your paycheck today?» «Not yet. The bank was closed.»

A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER WILL MAKE A «not yet» STATEMENT BY SPLITTING THE «not yet» PHRASE.
THIS INVOLVES ADDING THE CONTRACTION FORM OF «do,» does,» «have,» or «had» to the «not» PART OF THE PHRASE AND PUTTING «yet» AFTER THE VERB OR VERB/OBJECT CLAUSE.

«I don’t know yet if I want a one-way train ticket or round trip.»

«The salesman will call me when his boss reviews our offer. It’s after 6 p.m. now. I guess he doesn’t have a decision yet.»

«Jamie says he is going to ask Ann to marry him, but he hasn’t [asked her] yet.»

«I haven’t finished reading the book yet.» «Not yet?» «No, not yet.»

Наречия just, already, yet и still

В этой статье мы поможем разобраться в том, в каких случаях употребляются наречия just (только что), already (уже), yet (уже, еще), still (до сих пор) и как они связаны с Present Perfect (настоящим совершенным временем).

Зная, как правильно использовать наречия just, already, yet и still, вы сможете грамотно построить свою речь, а при чтении или просмотре видео на английском языке — лучше ориентироваться во временных рамках событий. В качестве видеопримеров покажем отрывки из «Гарри Поттера».

Чаще всего just выступает словом-маркером времени Present Perfect и переводится как «только что». В основном его используют в утверждениях и ставят перед смысловым глаголом:

I have just woken up. — Я только что проснулся.
Tony has just booked the ticket. — Тони только что заказал билет.
Look! We have just fixed your camera. — Смотри! Мы только что починили твой фотоаппарат.
I’ve just seen him around. — Я его только что видел поблизости.

Just может использоваться в качестве синонима only, в таком случае just будет иметь значение «только», «лишь», «всего лишь». Если в предложении есть глагол to be, just следует сразу после него:

This cough medicine costs just 100 roubles. — Это лекарство от кашля стоит всего лишь сто рублей.
He is just a kid. — Он всего лишь ребенок.
We are just watching. — Мы только лишь смотрим.

Также just может встречаться как синоним слова exactly. В этом случае just будет переводиться как «точно», «точь-в-точь».

You act just like your father! — Ты ведешь себя точно как твой отец!

Just может выступать в качестве синонима словам simply (просто), absolutely (абсолютно), чтобы сделать акцент на утверждении:

It is just perfect! — Это просто идеально!

Можно использовать just, чтобы сделать повелительное наклонение более резким:

Just shut up! — Замолчи!

Также just можем использовать, чтобы сделать просьбу чуть более вежливой:

Could you just give me a piece of advice? — Не могли бы вы дать мне совет?

Already

Слово already чаще всего выступает маркером времени Present Perfect. В этом случае оно переводится как «уже» и стоит между вспомогательным и смысловым глаголами. Already обычно используется в утвердительных предложениях.

I’ve already seen this film. — Я уже видел этот фильм.
Debbie has already settled down in NY. — Дэбби уже обосновалась в Нью-Йорке.
They have already checked out. — Они уже выехали из отеля.

Already может означать «раньше, чем ожидалось». Употребляется в утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях.

Timmy is only 18 but he is already a head of the company. — Тимми всего лишь 18, а он уже глава компании.
Are they already here? — Они уже здесь?
Look! I can already ride a bicycle! — Смотри! Я уже умею ездить на велосипеде!

Чтобы выразить удивление, ставим already в конец предложения.

Are you moving to US already? — Ты уже переезжаешь в Соединенные Штаты?

Yet часто выступает маркером времени Present Perfect и стоит в конце предложения. В отрицательном предложении yet переводится как «еще», а в вопросительном — «уже». Давайте посмотрим на примеры английских предложений со словом yet:

Have you fed the dog yet? — Ты уже покормил собаку?
Has he cleaned up his room yet? — Он уже убрался в своей комнате?

Eddy hasn’t told me anything yet. — Эдди мне еще ничего не рассказал.
They haven’t come back yet. — Они еще не вернулись.

Yet может означать, что что-то еще не произошло, но мы ожидаем, что это произойдет в будущем. В этих случаях yet можно перевести как «пока что», «все еще».

This service is not yet available. — Эта услуга пока что недоступна.
The situation is really dangerous, but help can yet come. — Ситуация действительно опасная, но помощь все еще может прийти.

Yet встречается в утвердительных предложениях вместе с прилагательным превосходной степени и переводится как «на данный момент», «на текущее время»:

This is his best song yet! — Это его лучшая песня на данный момент!

Также yet можно перевести как «но», «однако», «несмотря на». В этом случае yet стоит в начале или середине предложения:

Yet it is terrible weather outside, we have decided to go for a walk. — Несмотря на ужасную погоду, мы решили пойти на прогулку.
Our Xbox is broken, yet we are having much fun. — Наш Xbox сломался, но мы продолжаем веселиться.

Yet может использоваться, чтобы сделать на чем-то акцент, выразить удивление или негодование. Вместе со словами more (еще), another (еще один) и again (снова) значение yet близко к even (даже, еще более).

We’ll need yet more chocolate. — Нам потребуется еще больше шоколада.
The teacher gave us yet another task! — Учитель дал нам еще одно задание!
This proves yet again that she was right. — Это еще раз доказывает, что она была права.

Still

Still означает, что нечто осталось неизменным. Это наречие используется в ситуациях, когда что-то происходит дольше, чем ожидалось. На русский чаще всего переводится как «до сих пор», «все еще».

It still drives people crazy. — Это все еще сводит людей с ума.

В этом же значении still можно встретить после модального и вспомогательного глаголов или после глагола to be.

I can still see you. — Я все еще тебя вижу.
She looked around, and they were still looking at her. — Она оглянулась, но они все еще смотрели на нее.
They are still happy. — Они по-прежнему счастливы.

С помощью still можно выразить недовольство сложившейся ситуацией, если поставить его после подлежащего в отрицательном предложении:

You still don’t understand this grammar rule! — Ты до сих пор не понимаешь это грамматическое правило!

Мы можем использовать still, когда что-то произошло, несмотря на какие-либо обстоятельства. В этом случае оно выступает синонимом фразы on the other hand (с другой стороны) и наречия nevertheless (но все же):

Marcus had overslept but still he got to the meeting on time. — Маркус проспал, но все же добрался на встречу вовремя.
I hate jogging. Still I have to do it to keep fit. — Ненавижу бегать. Но все же мне приходится это делать, чтобы держать себя в форме.

В чем же разница между still и yet? Чтобы ответить на этот вопрос, обратимся к примерам:

He is still hungry. — Он до сих пор голоден.
He hasn’t eaten yet. — Он еще не ел.

She is still crying. — Она по-прежнему плачет.
She hasn’t stopped crying yet. — Она еще не перестала плакать.

Still указывает на продолжительность действия и на то, что действие еще не закончилось. Yet же говорит о том, что ожидаемое действие еще не произошло.

Надеемся, что статья была полезной, а употребление already, just, yet и still больше не вызовет затруднений.

Предлагаем пройти небольшой тест, чтобы закрепить полученные знания.

Use and meaning of YET

25th January 2019 by Andrew Leave a Comment

“ yet ” is an adverb.
“ yet ” can also be a conjunction.

Let’s look at each one:

It shows contrast with the first part of the sentence.

Examples:
Mark doesn’t like Jane, yet he often talks to her.
She is intelligent, yet she failed her exams.

“yet” as an adverb

“ yet ” is usually used in a NEGATIVE sentence or in a QUESTION.
We often use “ yet ” with the present perfect tense and other perfect tenses.
We also sometimes use it in the present tense.
“ yet ” is sometimes used in an AFFIRMATIVE sentence.

“yet” with the present tense

Can you start a sentence with ‘yet’?

Writers often find themselves with a number of issues when it comes to beginning a sentence. It shouldn’t be that hard to start a line of writing, but somehow it is. One of the biggest areas of confusion arises when we start a sentence with a conjunction. That can be any of these words: yet, but, so, and, and or.

Read our blog posts on starting a sentence with ‘but’ and ‘and.’

Many of us have grown up labouring under the belief that starting a sentence with a conjunction is a cardinal sin. However, this is not the truth. This was mainly to stop you from creating fragmented sentences; something that can easily occur with a conjunction at the start, even if you are paying attention.

Now though, we are going to show you how and when you can use a conjunction, specifically yet, at the start of a sentence. Not only will you be getting away with it, but you will be doing it perfectly correct as well.

Covering conjunctions

Before we get in too deep with yet, we’ll just quickly cover what a conjunction is. If you haven’t checked out some of our other Topcontent grammar blog posts, a conjunction is merely a connecting word. It joins two clauses together to make a complete sentence.

Take a look at the example below:

3D technology brings headaches to many viewers, yet the entertainment industry continues to produce 3D movies.

In this sentence, yet has a meaning similar to that of but, and you can see how it works to join those two sentences together. Having the second part of the sentence standing alone would make the sentence confusing; the reader would be wondering what the idea contrary to that statement was. So, that is the reason why our mentors do not want us to use it.

3D technology brings headaches to many viewers. Yet the entertainment industry continues to produce 3D movies.

Writing the same sentence as this is correct. The second sentence is still alongside the first, the reader knows what is going on, and the additional information has been given in a clear and concise way.

Contradictions

It’s worth mentioning here that when yet is used in the abovementioned way, it tends to be contradicting the sentence in front. This can be very helpful to remember when you’re about to put it at the start of a sentence. Check back and see if there is a sentence there that hold an opposite statement to the one you’re about to write.

Incorrect: It was raining hard. Yet she put on her wellington boots.

This doesn’t make sense. The second sentence is not contrasting the first one. Of course, she put on her wellies when it’s raining.

Correct: It was raining hard. Yet she didn’t put on her wellington boots.

Now, this statement is written better. The second part is offering a more contradicting form from the sentence before.

The other yet

Confusingly, English has two uses of the word yet, although it doesn’t seem to make the distinction often. The first one, which we discussed, is the conjunction. The other form is an adverb that refers to something that starts in the past and continues to happen at present. When it is used in a sentence, it becomes a negative or a question. Check out these examples:

Example: Is the dog awake yet?

Example: No, he isn’t up yet.

This use of yet can’t be used at the start of a sentence, even if you try. It’s important to note that the position of the word yet within a sentence does affect the meaning. So, you have to pay attention to how you will be using this short word.

Conclusion

As yet is classed as a coordinating conjunction, many would still say that it should never be at the start of a sentence. It is supposed to be joining and creating a relationship between two clauses.

It’s a valid argument, of course. But as there is no actual rule that says you can’t put yet at the beginning of a sentence, go ahead and use it. Putting conjunctions such as yet at the start of a sentence is acceptable, as long as you use it correctly.

Has she finished her homework yet?

I have a confusion in the sentence.

You can use both sentences:

“Has she finished her homework yet?” means that she has likely not completed her homework, and you want to find out if she has completed it.

“Has she finished her homework already?” is used as an expression of surprise. It means that she finished it very quickly, and you are surprised at how quickly she did finish it.

I hope this helps.

Dear Alex
At the end of your answer you wrote…” and you are surprised at how quickly she did finish it.
Well, why “did finish it” and not “finished it”? Can you tell (explain) the difference?. I read many books and the use of “did” in the affermative sentence is very common.
Can you please give us a lesson about this form?
Thanks in advance

very clear explaining

Thanks you very much. II prefer still on more difficultly passes tests, help me please. I am from Tadjikistan.
Best regards to everyone.
Shahlo

I usually use already when I want to ask questions, for example: Have you already taken your medicine? and I use yet in negative sentences, for example: I haven’t traveled to USA yet. Am I correct?
Thanks.

because we did not know if she finished her homework or not we just ask

and the next qustion ” Which question do you use if you want to show that you are surprised that something has been finished?
Have they arrived at the party already?!
Have they arrived at the party yet?!

we know that they arrived to the party
howwe know that ” they arrive to the party ” because in the question said “you are surprised that something has been finished?”

already comes with somthing done active you did it and finished and you know that

yet-> comes with negative “not” in the sentence
and in the question if you did not know if somthing done or not

i hope you got it

thanks a millions Alex. I love very much this websize. I hope Alex,Valen,James …. can upload video lesson” how to use WHO,WHOM,WHICH,THAT…..”

This site is awesome. I find it very resourceful. Keep on going.

hey i just confiused about how to use the already and yet

Dear Alex, your lecture is excellent. Thanks a lot. In the quiz, I am little bit confused about the following question.

Which question do you use if you want to find out if the following action has taken place before now?

* Has she finished her homework already?
* Has she finished her homework yet?

Could you please explain why second one is correct?
Another question is that, Suppose, My team leader has assigned me a task. But I could not do the task in time. So, can I tell, “I could not complete my task yet.”

Great video. Thank you Alex and EngVid.

Thank you Alex for your video!
But I’ve a question about your example:
“I’ve not yet seen Africa”.
What is the difference between this statement and that: “I haven’t seen Africa yet”?

There is no difference, except that “I”ve not yet seen Africa” is more formal. The other form is more commonly used.

Thank very much for helping me to understand how
end when I can use the words already and yet.
This little grammar lesson was very useful to me.

I solve it:
It has already left, I am I right?

waiting your splendid answer

thanks for the lesson …….keep coming back more

has the workshop started already or yet? pls sir help me.

You can use both, but it depends on what you want to say.

“Has the workshop started already?” (maybe you came late)

“Has the workshop started yet?”
(maybe you came early, and want to know if it will begin soon)

Thank you very much sir.

Thank you very much for those very well structured lessons, thus very understandable and useful. Definitely to be keeping safe. (Sorry for the mistakes, I’m only intermediate level).

hi alex thanks a lot

hey there. I’d like to ask you what is the difference between these two sentences :
1) Its a fixed decision
2) Its a fix decision
please explain explicitly.. thanks a lot

Hi Mimi: how I see that,fixed is an adjective means specific or constant,It’s a fixed decision means that decision can’t be changed.
fix can be noun or verb,means repairing.It’s a fix decision means that decision leads to repair something=find the solution.
I hope that’s clear and helpful 🙂

please explain whether these sentences are correct:
1) The girl has already finished her homework.
2) The girl already finished her homework
which one of these sentences is correct and please explain Sir..thanks

Thank you. I have already finished watching this lesson.

Hi Alex, I have problem here with this question in the exam: 3. Which question do you use if you want to find out if the following action has taken place before now?

Has she finished her homework already?
Has she finished her homework yet?

I marked first one because u say that if an action has finished or happened before now, we use “already.”
but the second one was correct!! So I have misunderstood here…
Thanks again dear Alex 😉

Can we leave yet?
I do not know yet.

Both are perfect sentences. Nice work!

Thank you to teach us in such details, including emotion conveyed.

Alex, just to confirm..
In this lesson, the reason using past participle, like taken/seen is because got intention, right?

Interesting lesson, thank you!

Very good way to learn and improve my English
Hi everyone

It’s kind of weird for me to use Yet with a positive auxiliary verb in a question.

Has she arrived at the party yet?

Hasn’t she arrived at the party yet?

Thank you for the lesson. 😀

Hi Alex, I love the way you have been teaching us. You did explain very clearly and easy to understand. Could you give us some more lesson about how we use “Do” and the verb to be “Is, am, are ” when we want to ask a question?

Its a great chance for people like me who dont have the time and financial resources to visit an additional english class.

Teacher, help-me please. I didn’t know the number 3 question, could you explaind me better.

3. Which question do you use if you want to find out if the following action has taken place before now?

It is a very important topic. I am always confused about when to use YET or ALREADY. Thanks Alex!

Hi, Alex. Question 3 make me confused, I think ‘yet’ only used in negative format. Am I right?

my question is,how we could use has been finished? which type of tense is it? i have learned has been teaching or have been working
please explain me!

thanks! now the difference is more clear 🙂

thanks Mr Alex
I hope to give us more examples
in your lessons.

Confused in yey

Hi Mr. Alex,
First of all, thank you for your useful lesson. I’ve been learning a lot with you. But I’m confused with something in the test. In question 3 the correct answer is the second one with yet “3. Which question do you use if you want to find out if the following action has taken place before now?
Has she finished her homework already?
Has she finished her homework yet?” But at the end of the quiz, you wrote a reminder saying that when an action has finished or happened before now, we use “already”. So, that is my problem. I’ve chosen the one with already and it was the wrong answer. Can you explain it to me, if it’s possible? I don’t know if my English is good enough to explain my doubt. However, I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
