Both sentences are asking if someone is home, but they have slightly different nuances: * "Are you already home?" implies that the speaker is surprised or curious that the person might have arrived home earlier than expected. * "Are you home yet?" suggests that the speaker has been expecting the person to arrive and is asking whether they have done so by now. The difference lies in the tone and expectation of timing.

The questions are the same in the sense that they will always have the same answer. For both, the answer will be either "Yes, I'm (already) home" or "No, I'm not home yet" or "No, not yet" The only minor difference is that "already" adds an element of awareness of the rapid passing of time.

The two questions are similar in meaning but differ slightly in tone and implication: "Are you already home?" – This suggests that the speaker might be surprised or checking if the person has arrived home earlier than expected. It implies that the speaker thought the person might not be home yet. "Are you home yet?" – This implies that the speaker expected the person to be home by now but isn't sure. There's a sense of waiting or anticipation, as if the person is expected to arrive soon. Both questions are asking if the person is currently at home, but the first suggests a bit of surprise or curiosity about timing, while the second has more of an expectation or impatience.

The questions "Are you already home?" and "Are you home yet?" are similar in meaning, but they have subtle differences in tone and implication. "Are you already home?" This question suggests surprise or an expectation that the person might not be home yet. It implies that you thought they would arrive later, but you're checking if they've arrived earlier than expected. "Are you home yet?" This question assumes the person is expected to be home soon, and you're asking if they've arrived. It suggests you're waiting for them to arrive but aren't sure if they are home at this moment. Summary: "Already" emphasizes something happening sooner than expected. "Yet" implies you're waiting for something to happen, but you're not sure if it has happened at the moment.
