I still have to / I have yet to Hi! 1) Is there any difference between the epressions I stated above? Is any of them more casual or familiar? For example: - I still have to do my homewrok / I have yet to do my homewrok. - I still have to go there / I have yet to go there. 2) Are theese sentences correct and do they sound English ? If not please write them in your way. - I yet have to go to the toilet - I don't like him but yet I have to get on with him.

'I have yet to.. ' is more formal and would not usually be used in speech, unless you were trying to be extra-formal or posh. To put those sentences into good English. I have to go to the toilet/ I need to go to the toilet. (or to sound like an English person: 'I've got to go to the toilet'/ 'I need the loo.') I don't like him, yet I have to get on with him. To an English person, this sounds wrong anyway, because 'yet' is a formal construction, but 'get on with' is a casual construction. Better would be: Formal = I don't care for him, yet I need to co-operate with him. Informal = I don't like him, but I've got to get on with him.

As a native English speaker, to me ‘I have yet to’ is way more formal than ‘I still have to’, but both are grammatically correct. For your second question; I would say ‘I still haven’t been to the toilet’, and ‘I don’t like him and I have yet to get on with him’. Hope this helps!
