However, used as an adverb, yet defines an action's persistence in time. The word can define an action in the past, present or future:
- I have never yet been late.
- I yet stand.
- I will yet arrive.
"yet" in questions:
- What do you have yet to learn? (in the future)
- Have you done it
yet? <=> Have you already done it? (in the past)
The above use of "yet" is illogical, but very common and thus considered correct.
