Still and yet
Still and yet
!Still!
We use still to say that a situation or action is continuing. Still usually goes in the middle of sentences with the verb:
• It 's 10:00 and Tom is still in bed.
• “ Have you giving up smoking?” “ No, I still smoke. “
• When I went to bed. Ann was still smoking.
• Do you still want to go to the party, or you have changed your mind.
!Yet!
We use yet when we ask if something has happened or when we say that something has not happened. We use yet mainly in questions and negative sentences. Yet usually goes at the end of the sentences:
• I 'm hungry. Is dinner ready yet?
• Have you finished writing thet letter yet?
• It 's 10:00 and Tom hasn’t gotten up yet. (or… isn’t up yet).
• We don’t know where we are on our vacation yet.
We often use yet with the present perfect (“ Have you finished writing that letter
