I................ (finish) my essay yet.

Yet

We use yet + the present perfect simple, mainly in questions and negative statements, to refer to things we intend to do in the future but which are not done:

Don’t wash up that cup. I haven’t finished my coffee yet. (I intend to finish it.)

Haven’t you done your homework yet? (You intend to do it.)

I.............(enjoy) this English course so far.

We................(live) in our current flat since 2019.

We use the simple aspect of tenses for actions which we think are:

• finished: I've done my homework. (the homework is finished)

• permanent: I've lived in England for 10 years. I've worked for this company for most of that time. (I think I will remain in England and continue to work for the same company)

We use the continuous aspect of tenses for actions which we think are:

• unfinished or in progress: I've been doing my homework. (it isn't finished yet)

• temporary: I've been living in England for six months. I've been working as an au pair. (I think I will leave England one day- my job is temporary)

We are.........(have) dinner at 8.00 this evening, so be home by 7.45, please.

I..................(visit) five countries in my life.

I..........................(walk)home from school when I saw a wallet on the pavement.
