Instructor: Avelt Starts today.
About this course
Take control of time and expectations in your conversations by mastering the adverbs "Yet" and "Already" within the Present Perfect tense. This program teaches you how to inquire about expected actions (e.g., "Have you finished yet?"), state that things are still pending, and announce that tasks were completed sooner than expected (e.g., "I have already eaten"). You will learn the strict placement rules for these adverbs to sound like a native speaker. Additionally, this module introduces highly practical phrasal verbs related to movement and communication—such as "get into," "get off," and "get through to"—allowing you to discuss travel, work, and daily routines with rich, descriptive language.

The Past Perfect Tense with Yet-Already
• Ask if an expected action has been completed up to the present moment using "yet" at the end of a question (e.g., "Has the plane arrived yet?").
• State clearly that an expected action is still pending using negative statements with "yet" (e.g., "I haven't read the newspaper yet").
• Express that a task is finished—often earlier than expected—by placing "already" between the auxiliary and main verb (e.g., "She has already cleaned the office").
• Use "already" in questions to express surprise at how quickly something happened (e.g., "Have you already finished your meal?").
• Naturally integrate phrasal verbs (e.g., "get off the airplane," "get through to someone") into Present Perfect sentences.
