Already is used to say a positive sentence while till is for negative sentence.
For example:
Suppose a girl ask you "can I be your girlfriend, do you have any girlfriend?" you can reply in one of the following two ways.
1. Sorry. I have already one girlfriend.
2. Of course. I have no girlfriend yet.

Hi!
"Already" is used for saying that something happened sooner than expected:
She has already gone on holiday. / I'm already there.
We use"yet" mainly in negative and interrogative sentences.
Have you finished your homework yet? - I haven't finished it yet.
