No. 'Had been working' is the past perfect, not the present perfect, and it shows that you stopped working before some other past event in the context.

'Still' is usually used with affirmative statements: 'Are you still here?' 'Yes, I'm still here.'
'Yet' is usually used with negative statements: 'Hasn't he arrived yet?' 'No, he hasn't arrived yet.'

Dear Alan,
Thanks for your explanation, this really helped a lot forme to undrstand these terms.
Can you explain me the meaning of the term 'till' and the difference between "till" and "still", "till" and "until"?
Thank you |

The word "till" could mean either "until" or "a cash register" - take your pick (depends on context).

| She hasn't come home yet. Why is this answer incorrect? I am at a loss to comprehend. |
