Tips to Remember:
Think of ‘schon’ as similar-sounding to ‘shone,’ and imagine something has already “shone” its light, revealing what’s there – it’s already happened.

Explanations:
‘Schon’ is a German adverb often used to convey the sense that something has happened earlier than expected, is happening right now, or to strengthen a statement. It is similar in use to the English adverb “already.”

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
– bereits: It is a synonym for ‘schon’ and directly translates to “already.”
– schon mal: This phrase means “ever” or “before” and is often used in questions or in talking about past experiences.

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
In colloquial German, ‘schon’ can sometimes be used to agree with someone albeit somewhat reluctantly or to concede a point:
– “Das ist schon richtig, aber…” translates to “That is correct, however…”

Examples of Sentences:
1. Hast du schon gefrühstückt? (Have you already had breakfast?)
2. Ich habe das Buch schon gelesen. (I have already read the book.)
3. Es ist schon spät, wir sollten gehen. (It is already late, we should go.)
4. Du bist schon wieder zu spät! (You are already late again!)
5. Ich weiß schon, was du meinst. (I already know what you mean.)

Remember that ‘schon’ can alter its meaning slightly depending on context, intonation, and sentence structure, but its core usage revolves around the concept of something being “already” completed or acknowledged.
