Grammar
Yet and Already at the end of sentence.
Hi guys!
I'm very confused whereas I use yet or already at the end of sentece.
I have seen these two following senteces:
1) Have you fixed the car yet?
2) Have you finished that typing already?
For me, the both follow the same structure. I'm wondering when I have to use yet or already at the end of sentence. If I change yet to already and already to yet at the both sentences, do I change the meaning?
Thanks.
