Greeting everybody !
I am new and this is the first time I have posted a thread. I hope that I do not make any mistakes since there are so many rules that I can not remember all of them . Anyway, have a good day and I hope that we can help each other to improve our skills.
Here is my question: I have a sentence, which is:
"Yesterday I was so busy. I had to search for companies and write my curriculum vitae so I didn't have time to do the homework. I also spoiled my mother drug for I did not turn the stove off after my mother had told me to. But the worst part (not come) yet. My father dumped the whole thing away when it could still be reused."

I don't know which tenses, which I have mentioned in the Title, that I should use here. I want to say that it still... "not happen" yet, so it must be in the Perfect tenses because "yet" usually goes with Perfect ones, not Simple ones (here is Past Simple). Why I think of Simple Perfect ? It is because it was after some activities in the past. But it was in the past, so it might be in the Past tenses, too. But, again, Past Perfect indicates action that happened before something in the past, not after. My head goes crazy !!! :shock:
So, which is correct:
a) Has not come yet.
b) Did not come yet.
c) Had not come yet.
Please tell me and explain fully why. Thank you so much ! ;-)
P/s: This is not my exercise or homework, this is what I am going to say to my English teacher
