Already
"Already" se refiere a una acción que ha ocurrido en un tiempo anterior al presente pero no especificado.
Sugiere que no es necesario repetir la acción.
Ejemplos
I've already drunk three coffees this morning. (= ¡y me estás ofreciendo otro!)
Don't write to John, I've already done it.
"Already" puede colocarse antes del verbo principal (en "past participle") o al final de la frase:
Yet
"Yet" se utiliza en oraciones negativas e interrogativas, con el significado de (no) en el periodo temporal entre
el pasado y el ahora, (no) hasta el momento presente, incluido éste. Suele colocarse al final de la frase.
Ejemplos
These words are often used with the present perfect tense, although they can be used with other
tenses.
We use never in affirmative sentences, but the meaning is negative, it means NUNCA
With other word with a negative meaning, we also use ever intead of never.These words are:
without, hardly, nobody/no one, nothing.
We use just to express a recently completed action, and it means ‘a short time ago’.
In the present perfect, ‘just’ comes between the auxiliary verb (‘have’) and the past participle.
We use already to express that something has happened sooner than expected. ‘Already’ usually
comes in mid-position.
- Don't forget to bring your book! Oh, I have already brought it.
- The boys are going to pack, aren't they? No. They have already packed.
- Is Adam going to buy a new car? No, he isn't. He has already bought it.
Still is used to talk about something that hasn’t finished – especially when we expected it to finish
earlier. It usually comes in ‘mid-position’.
Still is often used with other tenses as well as the present perfect.
- It is still raining.
We use yet in interrogative and negative sentences. In interrogative sentences, it means the
same as already, and is used to talk about something which is expected to happen. In negative
sentences, it is the same as still, and it suggests a time later than expected.
- Have you finished your homework yet? No, I haven't done it yet.
- Has your father seen your report? No, he hasn't seen it yet.
- Have the visitors arrived? No, they haven't arrived yet.
We use For when we measure the duration – when we say how long something lasts: For + a period
of time
To measure a period of time up to the present, we use the present perfect tense
and not the present tense.
The present tense with For refers to a period of time that extends into the future.
Since gives the starting point of actions, events or states. It refers to when
things began: Since + a point in time (in the past), until now.
With since we use the present perfect tense or the past perfect tense.
Since can also be used in the structure It has been + period of time + since.
I cannot take on any more jobs. I've ______ got too much work.
I cannot believe it. Half past four in the morning and you are
______ up!
