Already/Yet

**Tdol** · #1 10-Feb-2005, 04:15

Which is correct?

**Tdol** · #2 08-Mar-2005, 04:51

Highlight here for the answer : I have yet to do it.

Of course, 'yet' is correct, because you haven't done it.

**Tdol** · #4 16-Mar-2005, 08:44

However, many get the answer wrong because of the unusual position in the sentence and the use of the infinitve. Glad you weren't fooled.

Glad I didn't fall into your trap.

Nearly half did. That's why examiners use it time and time again.

Please show me which one correct?

Chamroeun, if you look at the second post, it will tell you that 'yet' is correct. It's a trick question that is used in exams:

I have already done it.

I haven't done it yet.
I have yet to do it.
(These two sentences mean the same)

Hey, I'm still confuse. Did you mean "alreafy" cannot followed by "to" ? So it's better to use "yet" ??
