جلسه 2
Time to focus on the language, as we learn how to make sentences with the present perfect and just, already and yet. Let's practise the rules!
More rules
In the last activity, we said we usually use just and already in positive sentences. Yet, on the other hand, comes at the end of a negative sentence or question. For example, Finn said this in the video:
- No – I haven't had a cup yet! No coffee for me this year.
Yet means 'before now', or 'until now'. It's often used with something that's expected to happen, like in this question:
- Have you finished your essay yet?
In the question, the speaker expects the essay will be finished.
Form
We usually put yet at the end of a negative sentence or question.
- I haven't had lunch yet.
To do
Let's do a quiz to test what you have learnt about just, already or yet.
