Grammar Focus 핵심 정리

1. just = a moment ago just = 방금

I've just finished dinner. Put it between have and the past participle. It happened a very short time ago.

I've just finished dinner. just는 have와 과거분사 사이에 넣습니다. 아주 조금 전에 일어난 일을 말할 때 씁니다.

2. already = sooner than expected already = 벌써, 이미

I've already read it. Use it when something happened earlier than expected. It goes in the same place as just.

I've already read it. 생각보다 일찍 일어난 일을 말할 때 씁니다. 위치는 just와 같습니다.

3. yet = until now (negatives and questions) yet = 아직, 벌써 (부정문·의문문)

I haven't read it yet. / Have you finished yet? Yet goes at the end of the sentence.

I haven't read it yet. / Have you finished yet? yet은 문장 맨 끝에 옵니다. 부정문에서는 '아직', 의문문에서는 '벌써'라는 뜻이 돼요.
