$GRAMMAR Already, Still, Yet, Anymore, Any Longer, No Longer
|
|
ID: l2-s13
|
|
INTRO: Here's how each of these time words works, and where it goes in the sentence. Take a minute with this — the drills that follow use all of them.
|
|
|
|
We use **already** to say something happened before now or before this time. It is used in questions and affirmative statements.
|
|
> {Ed already has a high school diploma.}
|
|
> {Mr. Smith is already here.}
|
|
> {Are they already in elementary school?}
|
|
|
|
We use **still** to say that a situation is continuing. It usually goes in the middle of the sentence with the verb. It is used in questions and in affirmative and negative statements.
|
|
> {Ed still doesn't have a college degree.}
|
|
> {It was warm yesterday, and it's still warm today.}
|
|
> {Are you still waiting?}
|
|
|
|
We use **yet** to ask or talk about something that did not happen before now, but might in the future. It goes at the end of the sentence. It is used in questions and negative statements.
|
|
> {I'm very hungry. Is dinner ready yet?}
|
|
> {Can you wait ten minutes? John isn't here yet.}
|
|
|
|
We use **anymore**, **any longer**, and **no longer** to say that a past situation does not exist.
|
|
|
|
**Anymore** and **any longer** are used in questions and negative statements. They go at the end of the sentence.
|
|
> {Is he in high school anymore?}
|
|
> {She isn't in the army any longer.}
|
|
|
|
**No longer** is used in affirmative statements. It goes in the middle of the sentence with the verb.
|
|
> {He is no longer a student.}
|
|
> {She no longer works at night.}
