'Still' usually goes in the middle of the sentence, before the verb. • Examples: I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Are you still working in the hospital? Yet • We use 'yet' mostly in questions and negative sentences. Using 'yet' shows that we're expecting something to happen or have happened. In spoken English 'yet' almost always comes at the end of the sentence or question and is commonly used with the present perfect. • Examples: I haven’t seen him yet. Have you finished it yet? Already • We use 'already' to talk about things that have happened, often earlier than expected. It usually goes in the middle or the end of sentence, just before or after the verb and is also commonly used with the present perfect. • Examples: I’ve eaten already. She’s already done it.
