YET OR ALREADY
 ALREADY
ALREADY + Present Perfect: El significado en español de
already es “ya” y expresa que una acción ocurrió mucho antes de lo
esperado. Generalmente se utiliza en oraciones positivas. Con el
Presente Perfect already usualmente va después del verbo auxiliar
have o has y antes del participio del verbo.

Example:
YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE YOUR EXAM.
SHE HAS ALREADY FINISHED HER HAMBURGER.
YET
Yet en una oración negativa significa “todavía“, y en una pregunta
significa “ya“. Usualmente lo colocamos al final de la oración.

En una oración negativa yet (todavía) significa que algo que

esperamos no ha ocurrido aún.

Examples:
I haven´t finished yet.
She hasn´t eaten that food yet.
Tell us 2 actions you haven´t
done in this week yet.
