still

Still is most commonly used to say that a situation continues to exist.

1. position in sentence
  • You usually put still after the first auxiliary verb in a verb phrase. For example, you say 'He was still waiting'. Don't say 'He still was waiting'.
He could still get into serious trouble.
I've still got $10 left.
  • If there is no auxiliary verb, you put still in front of the verb, unless the verb is be.
She still lives in London.
I still need more money.
  • If the verb is be, you put still after it.
She was still beautiful.
There is still a chance the plan could fail.
  • In conversation, still is sometimes put at the end of a sentence.
We have a lot to do still.

Don't use 'still' with this meaning at the beginning of a sentence. Don't say, for example 'Still we have a lot to do'.

2. used with 'even if'

Still is often used in sentences that begin with even if or even though.

Even if they change the system, they've still got a problem to solve.
See even
3. used in negative clauses

You can use still in a negative clause for emphasis. Still goes in front of the first auxiliary verb in the clause.

I still don't understand.
I still didn't know her name.

Don't use 'still' in a negative clause simply to say that something has not happened up to the present time. The word you use is yet. Yet goes after not or at the end of the clause.

I haven't yet met his wife.
It isn't dark yet.
See yet
