Confusing adverbs, "still" and "yet"

The words yet and still can, in certain contexts, be used with a meaning closer to the meaning of despite, but they are not even close to synonymous with each other. I think this may be where you’ve become confused.



If the English is corrected, the sentences are nonsense or close to it.




It has yet to stop raining. We will be able to leave soon.



It still hasn’t stopped raining. We will be able to leave soon.
