I s this correct?

Hi everybody: I found this sentence and I am not sure it is correct can anyone help me?
Although She has painted many portraits, she has`t yet sold any.
My question is specifically refering to the position of YET.
Thanks in advance

I think there are 2 possibilities. The one you gave:
Although she has painted many portraits, she hasn`t yet sold any.
And this one:
Although she has painted many portraits, she hasn`t sold any yet.
I would always go for the second option though, because that �s the one I was taught. ;))
Hope it helps!

I agree with Silke. "She hasn �t yet sold any" is correct, but sounds somewhat formal or stilted.

Hi,
As a native speaker I would agree with Bruce and say the second is better.
