Thread: I support who wants to learn Russian!!!

Ага, тогда имеет ли какой нибудь смысл фраза: I'm still here yet. (я хочу сказать "Я еще здесь", используя слово yet.
Или если есть слово "still", то уже нельзя употреблять "yet"?

My Russian is still isn't that good yet = My Russian is still isn't that good. Why you added "yet"? I do not see a difference

'My Russian *is* still isn't that good yet' -> That's incorrect. Omit the 'is.'

"I'm still here, yet I needed to leave an hour ago."

The above sentence expresses your current situation (present) but don't be confused with saying 'needed' (you might think that refers to some actual past event). It's merely stating it *should* have been a past event (according to the narrator).

'Yet' in this context is the same as using the word 'nevertheless.'

Using yet and still
