Hi, I'm Phil from BBC Learning English. Today, I'm going to tell you the difference between 'still', 'already' and 'yet'.

They all talk about things around the present. But they don't mean the same.

We use still to talk about something that hasn't finished. "Are you still studying? Let's go out."

We use already to talk about something that has finished, and maybe we didn't think it would have by now. "She's already finished work, she's gone home!"

We use yet in questions and negatives to talk about things that haven't happened, but we think they will. "Haven't you left yet? You'll be late!"

So, just remember:

Things that are still happening - haven't finished.

Things that have already happened  - have finished.

And, things that are yet to happen, haven't started.

Are you still watching? Have you learnt this yet? You remember it already? Fantastic!

用法总结

Still 

1 We use still to talk about something that has not finished.
我们用 “still(仍然,还是)” 来谈论未完成的事情。

Are you still studying? Let’s go out instead.

2 We use already to talk about something that has finished, and maybe we didn't think it would have by now.
我们用 “already(已经)” 谈论已完成的事,并且有可能是超出预期完成的事情。

She's already finished work, she's gone home!

3 We use yet to talk about something that hasn't happened, but we think it will.
我们用 “yet(尚未,还没有)” 谈论还没发生,但预计会发生的事情。

Haven’t you left yet? You’ll be late!

记住:

事情还在进行中、未完成,用 “still”。

事情已经发生、已经完成,用 “already”。

事情还没发生、未开始,用 “yet”。
