Grammar 2:

Still, Yet, Even, Anymore, Any Longer

Periode A - A5

Still 

- Voor situaties die nog steeds bezig zijn / niet zijn gestopt: 
   "I have been ill for 3 days and I am still not feeling well"
   "My dad still hasn't helped me fix my bike."

- Bijna altijd in combinatie met een perfect 
       - Present Perfect: has/have + werkwoord + ed
       - Past Perfect: had + werkwoord + ed 

Not anymore / Not any longer

- Geven aan dat een situatie is veranderd

- Komen beide aan het einde van de zin:
           - "Alex doesn't live in Amsterdam anymore"
           - "I don't play football any longer"

- Gaat meestal samen met de tegenwoordige tijd

Yet & Already

- Yet = nog niet gebeurd, maar verwachting is binnenkort wel
- Meestal aan het einde van de zin:  
          - "I haven't seen Jason yet"    - "I haven't got my grade yet"

- Already = eerder gebeurd dan verwacht
- Zowel "yet" als "already" zijn in combinatie met de perfect
          - "I have already eaten"             - "I have already cleaned up"

Even

Twee betekenissen: 
- Zelfs: "This painting is horrible, even I can do better than that"

- Vergelijking: "I left home early today, but my brother left even
                                earlier."
                               "I thought I was good at English, but I am even 
                                better than I thought."
