Improve your English today at ANGLOPOD.COM. Hi everyone, I’m Dan and today we’re going to look at the difference between ALREADY, STILL and YET in English. These three words certainly cause lots of problems for most people learning English, but together we will understand it much better!

Here’s an example with STILL. You could say: “I am STILL doing my homework”. STILL means that the situation is not finished, it is continuing. Note that STILL goes after the auxiliary verb BE but before the main verb in the present continuous, for example ‘am STILL doing’.

But if you use STILL with the present perfect, then STILL goes before the auxiliary verb HAVE, like this: “I STILL haven’t done my homework”.

YET has a very similar meaning to STILL, but we use it in negative sentences and questions to talk about something that is not finished.

Here are two examples with YET. You could say: “I haven’t done my homework YET” or you could ask the question “Have you done your homework YET?”

Here’s an example with ALREADY. You could say: “I have ALREADY done my homework”. ALREADY is used to talk about something that finished before now or before people expected.

Have you been to ANGLOPOD.COM YET? If you’ve ALREADY been, that’s great! Keep going back to improve your English. If you STILL haven’t been, then what are you waiting for? See you soon!
