The most possible explanation is this: .......................................................................................................................... 1.yet (UNTIL NOW): still; until the present time: E.g: I haven't spoken to her yet. 2.yet (DESPITE THAT): (and) despite that; used to add something that seems surprising because of what you have just said: E.g: simple yet effective ............................................................................................................................... 3.FORMAL as yet until and including this time: We haven't needed extra staff as yet, but may do in the future.
.............................................................................................................................. 4.Have yet to: If you have yet to do something, you have not done it: E.g:: They have yet to make a decision ............................................................................................................................. 5.Yet (more): used to add emphasis to words such as another and again, especially to show an increase in amount or the number of times something happens: E.g: Rachel bought yet another pair of shoes to add to her collection. 6.yet (EVEN NOW):even at this stage or time: We could yet succeed - you never know. E.g: You might yet prove me wrong .................................................................................................................................
So, as you can see the "yet" is going to be used at the end of the sentence if the idea is "yet (UNTIL NOW): still; until the present time". Such as the very first explanation!
I took this form the Cambridge dictionary, I hope I shed some light upon this subject. |
