4- Already – Yet
Already = something happened earlier
Yet= something didn’t happen
Already comes after ( have – has ) and before the main verb (
Part Participle V3 )

She has already done her homework
Yet comes at the end of a sentence
I didn’t go yet – she hasn’t gone yet – they aren’t there yet

5- Present perfect tense:
