Phrases about time
0 I have some problems,they are the phrases about time: yet, today, so far, to date, up to now, recently, lately, up to these few days, this morning, now, up to present. what do they mean? Are some of them duration? Do some of them represent sometime/some time in the past? yet: 1.up to the present time 2. at this time, for the present. so here what does up to the present time mean? does that mean from the past to now,include 01 u 00 now this moment 02 u 00 Or some time before 01 u 00 now this moment 02 u 00 ? i think so far, to date, up to now, up to present have the same meaning. if they mean from the past to now,include now this moment, so they are duration.if so far, to date.... are durations, then can we use those phrases in the sentence of present perfect tense? (but sometimes i heard my teacher used so far in a past tense sentence,so i am not sure what does it mean?) 02 br
