PAST PARFECT TENSE + YET / ALREADY

• TO FORM THE PAST PERFECT TENSE WE USE HAD WITH THE PAST PARTICIPLE FORM OF THE VERB. MOST PAST PARTICIPLES END IN -ED (PAINTED, ARRIVED, VISITED, ETC.). IRREGULAR VERBS HAVE SPECIAL PAST PARTICIPLES THAT MUST BE MEMORIZED. (TOLD, SAID, SPOKEN, EATEN, ETC.)

• EXAMPLE:

• WHEN LINDA ARRIVED HER HUSBAND HAD LEFT.

• I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT HE HAD MADE A GREAT DISCOVERY.

ALREADY• ALREADY MEANS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED EARLIER THAN WE EXPECTED. WITH

PRESENT PERFECT ALREADY USUALLY GOES AFTER HAVE OR HAS AND BEFORE THE MAIN VERB.

•   EXAMPLE:

•  - WE'VE ALREADY HAD OUR BREAKFAST.

   - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK?   - BUT I'VE ALREADY DONE IT!

   - DO YOU WANT A CUP OF COFFEE?   - NO, THANKS. I'VE ALREADY HAD ONE."

YET• YET’ IS USED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING WHICH IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN.

IT MEANS ‘AT ANY TIME UP TO NOW’. IT IS USED IN QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVES.

• EXAMPLE:

• HAVE YOU FINISHED YOUR HOMEWORK YET? THE SPEAKER EXPECTS THAT THE HOMEWORK WILL BE FINISHED.

• I HAVEN’T FINISHED IT YET. I’LL DO IT AFTER DINNER.
