Phil
Let’s learn still. As an adverb, we can use still to say that something is continuing, especially if we think that’s a bit surprising.

Example
You’re still awake! It’s 3am – go to sleep!

Phil
It can also introduce a surprising or contrasting idea – in a similar way to ‘despite’.

Example
That exam was hard, still I think I got everything right.

Phil
It also means ‘even more so’ – we use it to make a verb or adjective stronger.

Example
You need to be on time or, better still, early.

Phil
As an adjective, still means ‘not moving…’

Example
Keep still and the injection won’t hurt.

Phil
So, still can be about something continuing, something being surprising, being even more so, or not moving. If you want to know more, there is still more information on our website.
