1--The worst has yet to come.
2--The worst is yet to come.
Are both sentences good English? If yes, is there any nuance between the two?
Hi LiuJing,
IMO, the way they are written, only #2 sounds natural. You couls rephrase #1: The worst has not come/arrived yet; this sounds natural too.
Greetings,

I disagree - see my post above. "The worst has not come/arrived yet" sounds less idiomatic that the two sentences in the original question.
