  1.表示“已经”,通常用于肯定句,不用于否定句或疑问句(此时要用yet ).如:

  Has he started yet? 他动身了吗?

  He has already started.他已经动身了.

  He hasn’t yet started./ He hasn’t started yet.他还没有动身.

  2.有时也用于疑问句,但往往含有问话人希望得到一个肯定回答或含有惊讶之意.如:

  Is he back already  他怎么已回来了?

  Has she gone to bed already? 她不是已经上床了吗?

  3.一般说来,already 不用于否定句,但它有时可用于否定的条件状语从句中.如:

  假若他还未看过这电影,他呆以弄到票的.

  4.与already 连用的时态:

  (1) 与行为动词的完成体连用.如:
