UNIT108
Still, yet, and already
Anymore/ any longer/ no longer
A. Still
상황이나 동작이 계속되고 있는 것을 말하기 위해 still 사용. 변했거나 멈추지 않음:
It's 22:00 and he is still in the library.
When I went to the swimming pool, she was still in bed.
Do you still want to go to Spain, or have you changed your mind?
Still은 주로 동사와 함께 문장의 중간에 옴.
B. Anymore/ any longer/ no longer
상황이 변한 것을 말하기 위해 not... anymore or not... any longer 사용
He doesn't work in D company anymore(or any longer). He left last year. (not He doesn't still work here.)
They used to be good brothers, but they aren't anymore. (or any longer)
no longer도 사용가능. No longer는 문장의 중간에 온다:
Ace no longer works here.
no more을 아래와 같은 방식으로 사용하지 않는 것을 참고:
They are no longer friends. (not They are no more friends.)
Compare still and not... anymore:
Cho still works here, but Ace doesn't work here anymore.
C. Yet
Yet= until now. Yet은 주로 부정문 (She isn't here yet) 과 의문문 (Is she here yet?) 에서 사용. Yet은 화자가 뭔가가 일어나길 기대하고 있다는 것을 보여준다. Yet shows that the speaker is expecting something to happen.
Yet은 주로 문장의 끝에 온다.
It's 09:00 and she isn't here yet.
Have you met your cute cousin yet?
"Where are you going for winter vacation? "We don't know yet."
종종 현재완료(present perfect)로 yet사용(Have you met... yet?).
Compare yet and still:
Ace lost his job nine month ago and is still unemployed.
Ace lost his job nine month ago and hasn't found another job yet.
Is it still raining?
Has it stopped raining yet?
Still은 또한 부정문에서도 사용 가능(before negative):
She said she would be here an hour ago, and she still hasn't come.
이것은 "she hasn't come yet." 과 비슷하지만 still... not은 놀라거나 참지못하는 감정을 더 강하게 보여준다.
I sent the message to her two hours ago. She hasn't replied yet. (but I expect she will reply soon)
I sent the message to her two days ago and she still hasn't replied. (she should have replied before now)
D. Already
어떤 일이 기대했던 것보다 빨리 발생했을 때를 말하기 위해 already 사용. 주로 문장 가운데 온다:
"What time is she going to hair shop?" "She has already left." (= sooner than you expected)
Should I tell her what I bought for her, or does she already know?
I've just had breakfast, and I'm already hungry.
