Still / yet


🌟 Teaching "Still" and "Yet" (Basic to Basic)

📌 Step 1: Introduce the Concept (Simple Explanation)

  • Still → Used for something continuing
    ✅ Example: "I still live in Delhi." (I have lived there before, and I continue to live there.)
  • Yet → Used for something that has not happened but is expected
    ✅ Example: "I haven't finished my work yet." (But I will finish it soon.)

👉 Quick Test: Ask students, "Are you still in school?" or "Have you eaten lunch yet?"


📌 Step 2: Use Real-Life Examples (Interactive)

🔹 Teacher asks: "Is it raining?"
🔹 Student replies: "Yes, it is still raining."
🔹 Teacher asks: "Has the movie started?"
🔹 Student replies: "No, it hasn't started yet."

👉 Tip: Use gestures (for "still," show a continuous hand motion; for "yet," point at an empty watch).


📌 Step 3: Guided Practice (Fill in the Blanks)

  1. I am __________ waiting for the bus. (Still / Yet?)
  2. Have you finished your homework __________? (Still / Yet?)
  3. She hasn’t called me __________. (Still / Yet?)
  4. He is __________ sleeping. (Still / Yet?)

👉 Answer Check (1. Still, 2. Yet, 3. Yet, 4. Still)


📌 Step 4: Fun Interactive Game – "Yes or No?"

📌 Instructions:

  • One student makes a statement, and another answers using still or yet.
  • Example:
    • Student 1: "Are you tired?"
    • Student 2: "Yes, I am still tired!"
    • Student 1: "Has the teacher come?"
    • Student 2: "No, he hasn’t come yet."

👉 Variation: Use pictures (e.g., a picture of a running man – "Is he running?" → "Yes, he is still running.")


📌 Step 5: Role-Play Activity

Situation:

  • At a restaurant:

    • "Have you ordered food yet?"
    • "No, I am still looking at the menu."
  • At school:

    • "Have you completed your assignment yet?"
    • "No, I am still working on it."

👉 Tip: Pair students to create their own dialogues!
