vocabulary简明 Yet can introduce a contrast, refer to the future, or to something that you need more of. You can like a class, yet feel it's too hard. You may need to study hard yet again to try to pass a re-test. And even if an exam hasn't happened yet, you might worry it will be a disaster.
vocabulary扩展 Yet is often used like but when connecting two ideas that contrast — as in, "I love apples, yet I hate applesauce." When yet is not being used as a contrast, it means "more" or "in the future" (which is really just more time). If you've been rehearsing for the school play for weeks, but still don't know your lines, you'll need yet more rehearsals if it's going to be a success.

Usage Note :

In British English, yet and already are usually used with the present perfect tense. Have they said sorry or not yet?... I have already started knitting baby clothes. This usage is becoming more common in British English. In American English, a past tense is commonly used. I didn't get any sleep yet... She already told the neighbors not to come.

英国英语中,yet和already通常用于现在完成时。例如,Have they said sorry or not yet(他们是否已经道过歉了),I have already started knitting baby clothes(我已经开始织婴儿衣服了)。这种用法在英国英语中越来越普遍。在美国英语中,一般使用过去时:I didn't get any sleep yet(我还没合过眼),She already told the neighbors not to come(她已经告诉邻居们不要过来了)。
