What's the proper positioning of already/yet?
What part of speech are they?
The use of already is a little strange in that sentence, butI can't argue with the grammar. (There is a spelling problem. Do you see it?)

The positioning is just fine. (Read the Dictionary.com definitions. They should be helpful.)

They are adverbs.
