Yet

1. I did not yet receive the item.
2. I did not receive yet the item.
3. I did not receive yet, the item.
4. I did not receive the item yet.

I think only 2 is grammatically incorrect. Could you please let me know which ones are correct?

  • I did not receive the item yet.
  • That one is natural for a native speaker.
  • The others are not.
  • Since the only difference is the positioning of "yet", the designation of "ungrammatical" may not be warranted, but "unnatural" or "awkward" certainly is.

Another way to express this idea is:

I have yet to receive the item.
