JLPT N5
まだ~ていません
Have not yet done
Structure
まだ + Verb て-form + いません
How it works
Used to indicate that an action or event has not yet occurred or been completed. It implies an expectation that it will happen eventually.
Examples
宿題はまだ終わっていません。
I haven't finished my homework yet.
Common mistakes
Forgetting the て-form and just using the plain negative form (e.g., 終わりません instead of 終わっていません).
Tip
Combine 'まだ' (still/yet) with 'te-imasen' (not in the state of doing/having done).
