Nuala’s grammar explanation:

Today we’re looking at the adverbs ‘still’ ‘yet’ and ‘already’.
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.
Example sentences
Are you still working in the hospital?
I’m still there.
He’s still living in London.
Do you still see Harry?
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.
Example sentences
I haven’t found one yet.
I haven’t seen him yet.
Have you finished it yet?
Finally, 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.
Example sentences
I’ve eaten already.
She’s already done it.
We’ve already seen the film.
So to recap: ‘Still’ to talk about something that’s continuing, ‘yet’ for something we’re
expecting to have happened and ‘already’ for things that have happened, earlier than
expected.
