Hi teachers, Can I say generally speaking that the difference between 'already' and 'yet' is this one? a) We use the adverb 'already' in yes/no questions when we ask for confirmation. b) We use the adverb 'yet' in yes/no questions when we ask for information. ( So, we have no idea about the answer.) Let's imagine that somebody has washed my sweater ... Is my sweater dry yet? (I don't know). Is my sweater dry already? That's quick! It seems that the questions with 'already' more than being questions, they express surprise, don't they? TS
