Thread: has yet to begin

has yet to begin The BBC's Pentagon correspondent Nick Childs reports that the ground attack on Baghdad has yet to begin and that troops may be delayed a few days as bad weather, including sandstorms, closes in.
What does it mean? "has not begun" ? Can it be replaced with another
phase? Many thanks!

I think you're correct. "Has yet to begin" implies that it has not started yet.

Teacher 'Have yet to' is a more formal way of saying 'haven't yet'
