Have you ever song

 

· JUST = appena · ALREADY = già · (NOT) YET = (non) ancora

 

JUST, ALREADY e YET

Oltre che da espressioni temporali che includono il tempo

presente, il Present Perfect è spesso accompagnato da alcuni

avverbi specifici, quali:

· JUST = appena

· ALREADY = già

· (NOT) YET = (non) ancora

JUST =APPENA

I have just finished my homework. -Ho appena finito i compiti

ALREADY

L’avverbio ALREADY viene utilizzato nelle frasi affermative. Esso

si traduce con “già”, e serve a specificare che l’azione espressa dal

verbo è avvenuta prima di quanto ci si aspettasse.

E.g. I have already seen this movie. = Io ho già visto questo film.

IMPORTANTE!

Nei tempi composti inglesi (ossia i tempi che presentano l’ausiliare

HAVE, nel nostro caso il Present Perfect), JUST e ALREADY si

collocano tra l’ausiliare HAVE/HAS e il participio passato.

YET

L’avverbio YET può essere utilizzato sia in frasi negative che in

frasi interrogative.

Nelle frasi negative, YET indica che l’azione espressa dal verbo

non è ancora avvenuta.

E.g. The match hasn’t finished yet.

= La partita non è ancora finita.

YET ........................

Nelle frasi interrogative, YET si usa per chiedere se un’azione sia

effettivamente avvenuta o meno.

E.g. Have you bought  the ticket for the concert yet? = Hai già comprato il biglietto per il concerto?

IMPORTANTE!

A differenza di JUST e ALREADY, YET va inserito sempre alla fine

della frase, sia essa negativa o interrogativa.
