Adverbs of Time
Adverbs of time tell when an action happens: now, today, yesterday, tomorrow, soon, already, yet, still, later, recently.
I will call you later.
She has already eaten.
They haven't arrived yet.
He is still sleeping.
Most adverbs of time go at the end of a sentence (I saw him yesterday), but already / still usually go in the middle.
Common mistake: Using yet in positive sentences. Yet is for questions/negatives ("Have you finished yet?"); use already in positives ("I have already finished").
