STILL
1. Situations that continue to the present time
- It is still raining
- I still live in London
- They’ve been married for 30 years and are still in love
2. Action that is not expected because of something else
- He was sick but he still went to work
- I studied a lot though I still didn't pass the exam
YET
1. To ask if something expected has happened
- Have the test results arrived yet?
- I'm hungry. Is dinner already yet?
2. To say something expected hasn't happened
- I haven't done my homework yet
- It's almost 11 o'clock and John hasn't woken up yet
ALREADY
An action has happened sooner than expected
- I have just finished lunch but I'm already hungry
- I think Mary already knows about the surprise party
