Did... yet/Have...yet?
Hi all!
Did... yet/Have...yet?
Yes, it is not specific time, although I'm confused cause it happened in the past in a specific time.
But there is another problem, what if it was continuous?
I know it's common in BE. (Did + yet)

when you ask these questions, you don't care about the exact time the homework is done. Rather, you want to know if they are done at all. They are yes and no questions and not "real" questions(what, when, how, where...).
Did you start doing your homework yet? Have you started doing your homework yet?

Ahh I need to reread it but anyway is there a rule for this?

Think of did...yet/have...yet as similar to the present perfect
you only care if something is completed or started, but you don't care about when it was done.
So there is no reason for the question to involve the continuous tense.
