1
Hi friends!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk.
3
Hey everyone!
4
I'm Tom and this is Lily and we are your English learning friends.
5
That's right and today we have really really important lesson for you.
6
Two small words?
7
Two tiny words but so so many people get confused by them.
8
Oh, yes.
9
These two words have caused me so much trouble in real life.
10
We are talking about still and yet.
11
Still and yet.
12
I remember one day I was at a coffee shop and I asked the waiter, "Is my coffee yet ready?" And the waiter just looked at me like,
13
"Oh no, Tom, oh no." He didn't say anything.
14
He just blinked very slowly.
15
That is a beautiful story.
16
We are going to make sure none of our learners have a moment like that.
17
By the end of this video, you will know exactly when do you know exactly
18
when you're going to be able to do it use still and when to use yet.
19
No more slow blinking from waiters.
20
Let's go.
21
Okay, before we start, I have a question for you.
22
A fun question.
23
Ooh, I love questions.
24
At one point in today's video, Tom tries to use yet in a sentence, but he makes a little mistake.
25
Can you spot it?
26
Wait, I make a mistake?
27
Already?
28
Watch the video carefully.
29
Listen to Tom.
30
Can you Hatch's mistake?
31
Leave your answer in the comments.
32
We will tell you what happened at the end.
33
Great.
34
Now I'm nervous.
35
You'll be fine.
36
Okay, everyone, let's start the lesson.
37
So Tom, I have to ask you something.
38
It's Saturday today.
39
Yes, Saturday, my favorite day of the week.
40
Have you finished your homework yet?
41
My.. homework?
42
Yes, remember?
43
I gave you a small writing exercise on Monday.
44
I am still working on it.
45
Tom, it is Saturday.
46
I work slowly.
47
It's a style choice.
48
Okay, everyone.
49
Did you notice something?
50
I used two special words just now.
51
I said "yet" in my question, and Tom used "still" in his answer.
52
Let's look at that again.
53
Lily asked me, "Have you finished your homework yet?" And Tom said, I am still working on it.
54
See?
55
Even my mistakes are educational.
56
Okay, they weren't mistakes that time.
57
But later… Please don't.
58
Alright, let's talk about grammar.
59
Don't worry, we will keep it simple and clear.
60
Perfect for all our A1, A2, and B1 learners today.
61
So, "still" and "yet" are both about time.
62
They both talk about something that has not happened, or something that is continuing, but we use them in different ways.
63
Let's start with "still." We use still when something started before and it is continuing right now.
64
It is not finished.
65
It is ongoing.
66
Like my homework.
67
Yes, exactly like your homework.
68
Some examples: I am still eating, she is still sleeping.
69
We are still waiting for the bus.
70
"Still" usually goes in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and the verb, or between the helping verb and the main verb.
71
Good.
72
Now let's talk about "yet." "Yet" is for something we expected to happen but it has not happened up to now.
73
We use "yet" in two ways: in questions and in negative sentences.
74
So, "Have you eaten yet?" or "I haven't eaten yet." Yet usually goes at the end of the sentence.
75
That's the easy way to remember it.
76
So, the big difference is, "still" means something is continuing, "yet" means something hasn't happened.
77
"Still" goes in the middle, "yet" goes at the end.
78
One more thing.
79
"Still" can also go with negative sentences, like, "I still don't understand." This means you didn't understand before,
80
and you still don't understand now.
81
The situation has not changed.
82
No judgment, Tom.
83
No judgment.
84
Okay, let's teach five key sentences using still and yet.
85
We'll look at real examples, tell you some stories, and practice together.
86
Let's do it!
87
Number one.
88
Still waiting.
89
S -T -I -L -L -W -A -I -T -I -N -G.
90
Still waiting means you started waiting before, and you are continuing to wait right now.
91
Tom, tell them your story about waiting.
92
Oh, okay.
93
So, last year I ordered a new phone online.
94
The website said "arrives in three days." I was so excited. And?
95
Day three, nothing.
96
Day five, nothing.
97
Day ten, I called the company.
98
Do you know what they said?
99
What?
100
Your order is still processing.
101
No!
102
one year oh tom that's terrible
103
but now i know how to use still waiting in a
104

109
I haven't called my mom yet.
110
He hasn't finished the report yet.
111
They haven't arrived yet.
112
Okay, so this is the moment where Tom made a small mistake earlier in our conversation.
113
Did you catch it?
114
Oh, you're talking about the coffee shop story.
115
The correct sentence is, "Is my coffee ready yet?" Remember, "yet" goes at the end of the sentence.
116
The waiter was not confused because I said "yet." He was confused because I put it in the wrong place.
117
And now you know.
118
Let's practice.
119
I haven't eaten yet.
120
I haven't eaten yet.

128

130

131
Like why?
132
What is the purpose?
133
I have asked my cat.
134
She does not answer.
135
You asked your cat?
136
Several times.
137

138
Okay, let's practice.
139

154

155
and still there s t i l l h e r e T -H -E -R -E.
156
We use these to say that a person or thing has not moved or left.
157
They are continuing to be in the same place.
158
Are you still there?
159
The keys are still on the table.
160
He is still at work.
161
This one is so useful for phone calls.
162
In English, when you're on the phone and there's silence, you say, "Are you still there?" Oh yes, I use this all the time.
163
Last week, I was on a call with my brother.
164
He went very quiet suddenly.
165
What happened?
166
I said, "Are you still there?" Three times.
167
Then I realized he had put me on speakerphone and gone to make tea.
168
He was still there, just making tea.
169
He left you talking to no one.
170
But he was still there, just not listening.
171
Let's practice.
172
Are you still there?
173
I'm still here.
174
I'm still talking.
175
The shop is still open.
176
My brother is still on the phone, technically.
177
Amazing work today, everyone.
178
Let's do a quick summary.
179
Still, something is continuing.
180
It started before, and it is not finished.
181
I am still waiting.
182
She is still sleeping.
183
Still goes in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and verb.
184
"Yet, something we expected to happen, but it hasn't happened.
185
I haven't finished yet.
186
Have you eaten yet?" "yet" goes at the end of the sentence and we use it in questions and negative sentences.
187
Remember, "Is my coffee ready yet?" not "Is my coffee yet ready?" Poor waiter.
188
One more trick.
189
When in doubt, ask yourself, "Is something continuing?" Use "still." "Is something not happened?" Use "yet." You've got this.
190
Now it's your turn.
191
Write a sentence in the comments using "still" or "yet." You can write something like, "I haven't had breakfast yet," or,
192
"I am still learning English and I love it." We read every single comment,
193
every one, and we love hearing from you. So, come say hello.
194
We are 5 ,000 people strong now, and we are so proud of every one of you.
195
Every comment, every like, every day that you show up to learn, it means the world to us.
196
Oh, and before we go, remember our question from the beginning?
197
The question about my mistake.
198
Tom of the sentence, not at the end.
199
The correct sentence is, "Is my coffee ready yet?" And that, my friends, is why the waiter blinked at me for five seconds.
200
Did you catch it?
201
Let us know in the comments.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Praticar a fala em inglês é fundamental para desenvolver suas habilidades de comunicação. No vídeo "STILL or YET?", você encontrará uma abordagem envolvente para aprender a diferença entre duas palavras que frequentemente causam confusão: still e yet. Com diálogos autênticos, você é exposto a situações reais onde essas palavras são usadas, o que facilita a assimilação do conteúdo. Ao assistir e repetir, você pode utilizar a técnica de shadowing em inglês, que é uma estratégia eficaz para melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Isso ajuda a criar uma conexão mais natural com a língua e aumenta sua confiança ao falar.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

No vídeo, os apresentadores Tom e Lily usam estruturas que ilustram claramente como still e yet são aplicados em diferentes contextos. Aqui estão algumas expressões importantes a serem observadas:

  • Have you finished your homework yet? - Aqui, "yet" é usado em perguntas, indicando se algo aconteceu até o presente momento.
  • I am still working on it. - O uso de "still" aqui demonstra que a ação está em andamento e não foi concluída.
  • Is my coffee yet ready? - Este exemplo, embora incorreto, ilustra como o uso de "yet" pode ser mal aplicado em frases afirmativas.

Aprender a diferença entre essas expressões não só aprimora seu vocabulário, mas também enriquece sua capacidade de se expressar de forma mais precisa em inglês.

Traps de Pronúncia Comuns

Durante o vídeo, alguns pontos de pronúncia podem ser desafiadores para os falantes não nativos. Por exemplo:

  • A pronúncia da palavra yet pode ser confusa, já que o som 'y' pode se misturar com consoantes próximas.
  • Pode haver variações de acento tanto em "still" quanto em "yet", que podem ser sutis, mas impactam a compreensão. Ouvir e repetir os diálogos ajudará a evitar esses erros e melhorar a pronúncia em inglês.

Utilizar técnicas de shadowing é uma excelente maneira de superar essas armadilhas. Tente repetir as frases em tempo real, ajustando sua entonação e pronúncia conforme você avança.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
