japanese/もうました-and-まだていません

もう〜ました
- Can be used to talk about a past event that still has an effect at present, the English equivalent being something like “have already done”
Example
昨日宿題をしました ー I did the homework yesterday もう宿題をしました ー I have already done the homework
まだ〜ていません
- Using the negative in the past, the period must be complete. If you want to talk about how things stand currently, you should use ている instead
Example
昨日宿題をしませんでした ー I did not do the homework yesterday まだ宿題をしていいません ー I have not done the homework yet
Important
Positive: もう〜しました → I have already X Negative: まだ〜ていません → I have not X yet
