Still, Already & Yet - English In A Minute - YouTube

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!

Hi! I'm Phil from BBC Learning English. Hi! Ich bin Phil von BBC Learning English. 你好!我是來自 BBC Learning English 的 Phil。

Today, I'm going to tell you the difference between Heute werde ich Ihnen den Unterschied zwischen erklären

'still', 'already' and 'yet'. „noch“, „bereits“ und „noch“.

They all talk about things around the present, Sie alle reden über Dinge rund um die Gegenwart, 他们都在谈论当下的事情,

but they don't mean the same. aber sie bedeuten nicht dasselbe. 但他们的意思不一样。

We use 'still' to talk about something Wir verwenden „still“, um über etwas zu sprechen 我们用“仍然”来谈论某事

that hasn't finished. das ist noch nicht fertig. 那还没有完成。

Are you still studying? Let's go out! Studierst du immer noch? Lasst uns gehen!

We use 'already' to talk about something that Wir verwenden „bereits“, um über etwas zu sprechen 我们用“已经”来谈论一些事情

has finished, hat beendet,

and maybe we didn't think it would have by now. und vielleicht hätten wir es bis jetzt nicht gedacht. 어쩌면 지금쯤이면 그렇게 될 거라고 생각하지 못했을지도 모릅니다. 也许我们认为现在还没有。

She's already finished work. She's gone home. |schon||||| Sie ist bereits mit der Arbeit fertig. Sie ist nach Hause gegangen.

We use 'yet' in questions and negatives ||schon|||| Wir verwenden „noch“ in Fragen und Verneinungen 我们在疑问句和否定句中使用“yet”

to talk about things that haven't happened, ||||qui|| um über Dinge zu sprechen, die nicht passiert sind,

but we think they will. aber wir glauben, dass sie es tun werden.

Haven't you left yet? You'll be late! Bist du noch nicht gegangen? Du wirst zu spät kommen!

So just remember: Denken Sie also einfach daran:

Things that are 'still' happening, haven't finished. Dinge, die „noch“ passieren, sind noch nicht abgeschlossen.

Things that have 'already' happened, have finished cose già accadute|||||| Dinge, die „bereits“ geschehen sind, sind abgeschlossen

and things that are 'yet' to happen, haven't started. und Dinge, die „noch“ passieren sollen, haben noch nicht begonnen.

Are you still watching? Guckst du noch? 你还在看吗?

Have you learnt this yet? Hast du das schon gelernt? 你学会了吗?

You remember it already? Erinnerst du dich schon? 你已经记得了吗?
