I love you! Seriously, I use your videos a lot with my students. I was just looking for an already, yet, still video to show my students and of course I ran into yours, yay!

[@elementalenglish]

Douglas - If I understand your question correctly… you can definitely use "yet" in statements and "still" in questions. "Yet" is often used with the negative in the verb. Examples of two questions with the same meaning: "You haven't left yet?" "You're still here?" Does that help? Can you give an example of your question?

[@alaminadammusa9421]

Great! This video's cleared up my doubt about using "still" and "already". Thanks a lot.

There are many more things to tell about yet word. Like yet can also be used a conjunction example : I have got everything ,yet I feel like something is missing from my life .

[@hamzaawan3510]

quite helpful......

[@dougmorato]

I have some doubts on questions. They say yet is right one for it, but as you showed in this video, sometimes still is also used. Could you explain us a bit more? Thanks for the video :)

[@jagdishgrover2093]

I like dis video very informative

[@poissonjosette3654]

In a restaurant for eg !Do you say :Have you ordered yet?or have you already odered? Are these two sentences corect? is there a difference between them? thanks for your answer

[@2SLipo]

At 2:24, isn't "already" the more appropriate word than "yet"?

[@kenianava5518]

YET IS FOR NEGATIVE SENTENCES AS IN THE EXAMPLE. IN THE CONTEXT THAT YOU´RE THINKING OF THE MOST CORRECT WOULD BE : DON´T TELL THEM I´M ALREADY HERE...

I learned that "already" is not used in questions 2:29 . Yet is used in negative and question while already and just is for positive only not in question.

[@kenianava5518]

YOU CAN USE ALREADY IN QUESTIONS WHEN YOU´RE EXPRESSING SURPRISE.

[@SunTeleLeo]

I'm still still alive you've already killed me are you killed yet?

[@DARIBELT]

You haven't left yet? .... or Haven't you left yet? ....

[@elementalenglish]

They're both grammatically correct but have different meanings. Can you guess what the different meaning are?

[@eral6209]

+ElementalEnglish I can't guess the difference.

[@RenatoKing]

Its more formal you say : Havent you left yet

[@maradyphoeun447]
