Questions & Answers about Todavía no hemos escrito en las cajas.
Why is it todavía no and not just todavía?
Can I put todavía no at the end of the sentence like we do with "yet" in English?
Why is the word for "written" escrito instead of ending in "-ido"?
The verb escribir (to write) has an irregular past participle. Instead of following the regular "-ir" verb rules (which would make it "escribido", a word that doesn't exist!), it becomes escrito. This is a very common irregular form you'll just need to memorize.
The English translation says "on the boxes," but doesn't en mean "in"?
En is a very flexible preposition that can translate to "in", "on", or "at" depending on the context. Since you write on the surface of a box, en las cajas is the standard way to express "on the boxes" in Spanish.
