Natives’ Mind
Have you taken a shower yet? VS. Have you already taken a shower?
Both “Have you taken a shower yet?” and “Have you already taken a shower?” are asking if the person has
taken a shower or not. But they have slightly different shades of meanings.
“Have you taken a shower yet?” is used when you are simply asking if the person has taken a shower.
"Have you already taken a shower?" is used when you may actually be surprised if the person has taken a
shower, which means you are not really expecting that the person has taken a shower.
