Grammar Explanations

1.

We

often use

the present perfect

with

already to talk about things

that

have

happened before now

.. .

BE CAREfUL Do not use

the

present perfect with

already when

you mention a specific time

in

the past.

Already usually comes between have and the

past participle.

Already

can also

come

at

the end of

the

clause.

2.

Use

the

present

perfect with not

y t

to

talk

about

things that have not happened

before now.

Notice that y t usually comes

at

the end of

the clause.

Yet can also

come

between have

not

and the

past participle.

3.

We usually use

y t in questions

to find out if

something has happened before now.

USAGE

NoTE

Sometimes we use already

in a

question

to express surprise that something

happened sooner than expected.

Examples

A Is your daughter going to get her flu shot?

B Shes already gotten it
