he hasn't reached yet

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is the correct form using the auxiliary verb 'has' with 'he.' It indicates that the action of reaching has not occurred up to the present moment.

Examples:

  • He hasn't reached yet, so we'll have to wait a bit longer.
  • She hasn't reached yet, but she should be here soon.
  • The train hasn't reached yet, so we have some time to spare.
  • The package hasn't reached yet, but it should arrive by tomorrow.
  • The results haven't reached yet, so we can't make a decision yet.

Alternatives:

  • he has not reached yet
  • he still hasn't reached
  • he has yet to reach
  • he has not arrived yet
  • he is not there yet

he haven't reached yet

This phrase is incorrect in standard English usage.

The correct phrase is 'he hasn't reached yet.' 'Hasn't' is the contraction of 'has not,' which is the correct auxiliary verb to use with 'he.' 'Haven't' is the contraction of 'have not,' which is used with 'I,' 'you,' 'we,' and 'they.'
