- Already, Still or Yet
from English Grammar Today. Already or yet? We use already to refer to something which has happened or may have happened before the moment of speaking. Already can sometimes suggest surprise on the part of the speaker, that something is unexpected: Is it seven o’clock already? (The speaker didn’t expect it to be so late.)

Yet and still are used to talk about things that have (or haven’t) happened over time. Their meanings and uses are distinct. However, there is a situation in which they are used in a similar way to convey a similar idea. This is why learners get confused.
still. Still used with the present perfect means that something hasn't happened. We use it to emphasise that we expected the thing to happen earlier. Still (in this context) is only used in negative sentences. I've been waiting for an hour and the bus still hasn't come. They promised me that report yesterday but they still haven't finished it.
