Adverbs of Time

In the given sentences, there are adverbs of time such as "yet," "still," "before," "already," and "ago." These adverbs help to indicate the timing of the actions or events described in the sentences. Let's analyze each sentence and determine the correct usage of these adverbs.

1. He’s lived in Rome all his life and he yet/still lives there. - In this sentence, the correct adverb to use is "still." It indicates that the person continues to live in Rome. The use of "yet" would imply that the person is expected to stop living in Rome, which is not the intended meaning.

2. I’ve before/already read this book. I don’t want to read it again. - The correct adverb to use in this sentence is "already." It indicates that the action of reading the book has already been completed in the past. The use of "before" would imply that the action is expected to happen in the future.

3. The last time I fed the goldfish was two days before/ago. - The correct adverb to use in this sentence is "ago." It indicates that the action of feeding the goldfish happened in the past, specifically two days ago. The use of "before" would imply that the action is expected to happen in the future.

4. I can’t believe I’ve been here nearly a year yet/already. - The correct adverb to use in this sentence is "already." It indicates that the person has been in the current location for almost a year, which is surprising to them. The use of "yet" would imply that the person is expected to leave before completing a year.

5. I’m afraid the plumber hasn’t arrived still/yet. - The correct adverb to use in this sentence is "yet." It indicates that the plumber has not arrived up to the present moment. The use of "still" would imply that the plumber has not arrived for a longer period of time.

6. He can still/already speak, and he’s only one year old. - The correct adverb to use in this sentence is "already." It indicates that the one-year-old child is already capable of speaking, which is surprising or impressive. The use of "still" would imply that the child is expected to stop speaking.
