Is it "I have yet to do (stuff)" or "I have to do (stuff) yet"?

Only "I have yet to do..." is correct. "I have to do (stuff) yet" doesn't work.

"I have yet to do..." is somewhat literary/archaic. It's correct, but using "yet" to negate like this (without "not") is not that common. Nowadays, "yet" is used in negative or question contexts. You should use "still" instead in a positive context like your example. Same type of distinction as when you use something vs. anything: * I have to do something still. OR I still have to do something. * I haven't done anything yet. * Have you done anything yet?

It's "I have yet to do (stuff)." and "I haven't done (stuff) yet." You can also say "I still have to do (stuff)."

In general For events that are continuing we use the adverb **still**. For events that involve expectation (should have happened by now or should happen in the future) we use the adverb **yet**. Have you been paid yet? I haven't heard if I got the promotion yet. For past events we use the adverb **already**.

“I have yet to” is significantly more formal/stuffy. My kids would make fun of me if I said “I have yet to do the laundry.” “I have to ___ yet” is just odd, and I would not use it except perhaps I poetry The normal way of expressing this idea is: “I still haven’t ___” or “I haven’t ____ yet.” (American English, Midwest and East Coast)

Most native English speakers would use "still" instead of "yet", and wouldn't use either of your constructions. "I still have (stuff) to do." Technically, your first sentence is grammatically correct, but would not be normal conversational usage. "I have not done (stuff) yet." That would be how I would construct a similar sentence to use "yet".

From what I’ve seen, *"I have yet to do (stuff)"* is definitely the more natural/common order in standard English. The other one (*"I have to do (stuff) yet"*) sounds a bit off to me unless it’s in a very specific context, like maybe *"I still have to do my homework yet"* (but even then, it feels clunky). Your teacher might be thinking of regional variations? But most grammar sources (like Cambridge or Oxford dictionaries) list *"have yet to"* as the standard form. I remember checking this when I was writing an essay and my tutor corrected me on it lol.

In standard English, the adverb “yet” is a negative polarity item, meaning it only appears with negative verbs. “I haven’t done that yet.” “The children haven’t gone to bed yet.” However, in some dialects of English, “yet” can be used in positive sentences, and in this case it’s basically just a synonym of “still.” “I have to do that yet.” is the same as “I have to do that still.” “Theres some milk in the fridge yet.” means “there’s still some milk in the fridge.” Another negative polarity item like this is “anymore.” In some dialects of English it can be a synonym of “these days,” with the main example being “x is so expensive anymore.” The construction “have yet TO VERB” is a set construction that is a remnant of the non-negative use of yet, but the word order for this construction is fixed, so “yet” must come between have and the infinitive verb. It emphasizes the fact that the verb hasn’t happened yet, and also implies a small doubt that it ever will happen. For example “I have yet to see anybody pass Mr. Smith’s calculus class.” “They have yet to find anyone who meets the qualifications.”

“I have stuff yet to do” means you haven’t yet finished doing all your stuff. “I have yet to do stuff” means you haven’t begun.

"I have to do \[stuff\] yet" isn't correct. "I still have to do \[stuff\]" is correct. "Have you done it yet?" "No, I haven't done it yet" or "No, I still haven't done it"

GOOD: "I have yet to do [my chores]" "I haven't done [my chores] yet" "I have to do [my chores]" (no "yet") BAD: "I have to do [my chores] yet" BEST (imo): "I havent done my chores yet" sounds the most natural to me.

“I have yet to” is commonly used to deny a particular experience, as in, “I have yet to see any examples of X,” or “I have yet to find anyone who can X,” etc. It isn’t really used to mean “I haven’t done X yet,” unless the person is joking around and trying to sound “fancy” “I have to do X yet” isn’t really used, unless perhaps in a joking way (e.g. trying to sound like the Moira Rose character in Schitt’s Creek)

You can either say > I have yet to do stuff or > I still have to do stuff you need a negative and perfect to use yet like that > I haven't done stuff yet

I don’t know anyone who talks like either example.

I have yet to… is typical/standard. Come to Wisconsin though and you’ll get away with the second example :)

The first one is correct, although the second is not.

I’d say “I’ve still got some stuff to do”.

You could say "I haven't done X yet" but not "I have to do X yet"

It sounds odd to put "yet" last. You might encounter it in creative writing. In this case it's placed last for a few artistic reasons (meter, emphasis, rhyme). God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

I'm by no means a grammar expert but I'm fluent. Although these might be technically correct, they both sound clunky when spoken. I haven't done (stuff) yet flows much more naturally. I have yet to do (stuff) definitely sounds better between the two, but I would never personally word it that way.

“I have yet to _____” is the correct way to say it The second example only works if you rephrase and say “Do I have to do _______ yet”
