Yet

Yet is a common English word that when used as a conjunction , is equivalent to "but" or "nevertheless".

However, used as an adverb, yet defines an action's persistence in time. Perhaps uniquely in English, 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.

Also, yet is a local dialect term in lowland Scotland and Cumbria for a gate.
