YET?

Hi,

Yet means "still" or "nevertheless".

They haven't arrived yet / they still haven't arrived.

The "yet" in the second sentence indicates how much time will pass before they arrive.

It's equivalent to saying

They won't arrive for 2 more hours.

The first implies that they will arrive at some time after 2 hours have passed. (could be 3 or 4 hours)

Hi,

It's quite unusual to say these sentences as mentioned in the dictionary, but I'll help you to figure it out.

The election won't take place for three weeks - It means the election has just started, but it may be finished no longer than three weeks from now.

The election won't take place for three weeks yet - It means the election has already started (maybe long ago),

They won't arrive for at least two hours yet.
