How to Use Already, Still, and Yet Correctly

Already, still, and yet are small words that can be confusing—even for advanced learners. They all relate to time, but they’re used in very different ways.

This short video breaks it down with simple visuals and real-life examples:
• Already means something happened earlier than expected.
→ I have already eaten.
• Still shows that something began in the past and continues now.
→ I am still eating.
• Yet is used when something hasn’t happened but is expected.
→ Have you eaten yet?

The video uses a timeline to help you clearly understand where each word fits—past, present, or future. With visual cues and clear pronunciation, this is a great grammar lesson for A2–B1 learners.

Practice along by saying the sentences out loud and asking yourself questions with yet, still, or already. You’ll start using them naturally in no time.
