Still, yet, already
Still
does not mean the same as yet or already. Yet is used mostly in questions and
negatives to talk about things which may be expected but which have not
happened, or things about which the speaker wonders if they have happened up
to that point in time:
A: Have you looked in that journal you got from Mrs Martin yet?
B: No. I will, honestly.
Already refers to things that have happened, often to the surprise of the speaker:
A: Have you already eaten that?
B: Sorry, yes, I was really hungry.
(Have you still eaten that?)
