Hello Valentin, i'm nereyda and i have one question regarding to an exercise that we have done in class.
In the following question i put this:
………………… you …………………… (water) the plants yet? -> Haven't you watered the plants yet?
And you said that i was wrong, but, why? In class you said that the correct form of this question is ... : Have you watered the plants yet?
But i'm confuse because i thought that yet meant "aún", isn't it? If yet meant "aún" wouldn't we have to put in the question "Haven't" replacing have?
However, you said that yet meant "ya" but i also thought that already meant "ya", and not that yet meant that .. :S.
In conclusion, doesn't yet mean "aún"? and doesn't already mean "ya"? If i'm right it means that i was right with my answer to the exercise, isn't it?
Well, hope you have a nice weekend :D
1. Your sentence is correct. Both HAVE and HAVEN'T are correct if they are part of a question.
Sorry if I rejected your sentence in class.
2. YET: "aún" "todavía" in negative senteces.
3. YET: "ya" in questions.
4. ALREADY: "ya" in affirmative sentences.
Everything explained in : http://aprendiendoingles.lacoctelera.net/post/2009/03/09/yet-already-still
I hope to have solved your doubts.
Have a nice wekend.
Valentín.
So, i have understood with your explication that if my question is written in negative, but it's a question, i can put anyway yet, because i'm putting the question in negative, isn't it?
But in another case, if I want to put for example "has venido ya de la escuela?" i could put 'have you come from the school yet?' but there is also another option, i could put also 'have you come from the school already?'
Isn't it? :S, i'm sorry, but i'm a little bit confuse :/ and i have watched the link that you have put here but there is not explained the difference between to put yet in the negative sentences and to put it in the affirmative sentences..
Well, thanks a lot for your explication and also for your help :), hope you have a nice weekend too :DD
PD: Sorry, but i think that i haven't explained me well enough, in the last part of my message i wanted to say that there, in the link, there is not explained the difference between to put yet or already in the negative and affirmative questions
Hi Nereida, These are all the possibilities I can see. Please translate them and send me the translation to check if you understand.
AFFIMATIVE: I’ve already watered the plants.
NEGATIVE: I haven’t watered the plants yet.
INTERROGATIVE WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER: Have you watered the plants yet?
INTERROGATIVE WHEN YOU EXPECT A POSITIVE ANSWER: Have you already watered the plants? (Be careful with the position of “already”)
INTERROGATIVE-NEGATIVE: Haven’t you watered the plants yet?
Bye bye
Thanks a loooooooooot!!!! I think that this time i have understood what you wanted to say :). Well, i'm going to translate the different possibilities:
-I’ve already watered the plants. Yo ya he 'regado' las plantas.
-I haven’t watered the plants yet. No he 'regado' las plantas aún.
-Have you watered the plants yet? . Has 'regado' las plantas ya?
-Have you already watered the plants?. Has 'regado' las plantas ya? (The translation seems similar in the two last questions, but i understand the difference between those questions :) )
-Haven’t you watered the plants yet? No has 'regado' las plantas aún?
Bye byee :))
OK your translations are perfect.
I also think you know now.
Bye.
