Hi There!
Could you tell me what the use of “YET” in an affirmative question is?
.
It is an adverb with several meanings:
- at the present time; now:Are they here yet?
- up to a particular time; thus far: Have they come yet?
- in the time still remaining; before all is done: Is there yet time?
- from the preceding time; as previously; still: Are they yet at their summer cottage?
- in addition; again: Has the mail brought yet another reply?
- moreover: Have you ever read it or yet intend to?
- even; still (used to emphasize a comparative): Is this a yet milder tone?
- though the case be such; nevertheless: This is strange; yet is it very true?
Thanks Dear Mister Micawber. However, I have a bunch of more questions:
What are the situations below called in English:
- when a person keeps his head over the steam rising from a boiled water in case he has a cold or wants to have a softer skin.
- When one is so sure about his claim, but finally those against him prove that he isn’t and they start laughing at him.
- When you make a person ashamed in public.
- When you don’t want to do sth but you do it because you can’t say “No.”
What is the difference between Market, Bazaar, Mall and Shopping Center?
.
I can’t think of anything except for #3: embarrass.

What’s the meaning here? Does “yet” fit well with the past simple?
Did you eat yet?
