"Yet to"="still not"? "To be sure,other armies had yet to surrender,and the fugitive government would struggle for a while." Does "yet to" means 'still not"? If it does,any difference between this and "other armies had yet not surrender."? Thanks

Hi, Yes, 'yet to' in that case could be replaced with 'have still not', so the sentence could be 'other armies have still not surrendered'. There is no difference between these two formulations, it's just replacing the common Present Perfect tense with 'have yet to + infinitive verb form', which is more special and usually not used in speaking because it's more formal. Hope this helps! Alex
