something is complete, often earlier than expected
something happened long ago
something will happen in the future
something is happening now
We usually use yet:
in negative sentences and questions
with specific past time expressions
in past simple sentences
in affirmative sentences
Where does yet normally go in a sentence?
At the end of the sentence
Before the main verb
Between have and the past participle
At the beginning of the sentence
Which sentence shows surprise?

“He’s already left” suggests that:
he left earlier than expected
he left yesterday
he is leaving now
he will leave soon
“I haven’t finished yet” means:
the action is finished at the moment
the action is not complete at the moment
the action was finished a long time ago
the action wasn't finished a long time ago
Which sentence should use yet, NOT already?

Which sentence is correct?
I’ve already seen this movie.
I already saw this movie.

Already cannot be used with movies

Present perfect cannot be used with past time expressions
