We've already gone through this topic", does it make sense in class?
I wonder if these sentences are right in a class scenario

This goes as a reminder, since we've already gone through/ over this topic before.

Can I replace ' already ' by any other words?

Thanks

Answer

In this sentence, you can remove "already" and the sentence will mean the same thing. The word "before" serves to show that the content has already been gone over.

Americans would say "This serves as a reminder, since we've gone over this topic before."

Answer

Hi Emarbe;

"Since we have previously covered this topic"

However, there is nothing wrong with the word "already".

I hope this helps,

Answer

In British English that sentence is perfect. You wouldn't need to change anything.

Answer

This will be a reminder as we've covered this topic before.

as   is more natural than   since in this case,
covered is better than  gone through,   (gone over is better than gone through),
and yes, before  is better than already.

Answer

You may say the word "previously" in place of "already" in this context.

"This SERVES as a reminder, since we've PREVIOUSLY gone through/over this topic before."

Hope this helps!
