yet
Meaning
"Yet" is used to introduce a contrast or to indicate that something has not happened up to the present time, often implying that it is expected to happen in the future.
💡 A common mistake is using "yet" in affirmative sentences instead of negative ones; it is typically used in negative contexts.
