How it's used
This phrase functions as a descriptive state rather than a fixed noun. It is commonly used to describe a situation where something is still in progress or pending arrival. It carries a sense of anticipation or the need for patience while waiting for a specific event to occur.
Examples
The train hasn't arrived at the station yet, don't be so impatient.
Do you know how long we have to wait for the train to arrive?

Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a single noun phrase, but it is actually a subject followed by a verb phrase. It cannot be used as a direct object in a sentence like 'I see the train not yet arrived'.
