Still
• We use 'still' to talk about something, a situation
or an action, that's continuing, often for a
longer time than expected. It hasn't changed or
stopped. '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?
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.
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?
Partner Work
• Put the words in order to form 3
sentences.
• Hint:
One sentence uses “still”
One sentence uses “yet”
One sentence uses “already”
• Write your sentences on the board

experienced in New York so far. Use the
present perfect tense.
