國中英語基測出現過 already 的考題。
Mrs. Lin: Hong-Kai! It's twelve o'clock already! Are you going to stay in bed all day long?
Hong-kai: Mom, it's Sunday! And we don't have any homework this weekend.
Mrs. Lin: That's great! Then you can 1 after lunch, can't you?
Hong-kai: OK, but I think I should be paid for that. How about ten dollars for cleaning my room and five for taking out the garbage?
Mrs. Lin: No problem. But I cleaned your room and took out the garbage yesterday. I think I should 2, too. Now, come on! Get up!
