Explanation | When you want to say that something is the same now as it was in the past, use still: 'I've read the first chapter three times and I still don't understand it.' 'Despite her doctor's advice, she still eats anything she likes.' To give emphasis to this meaning, especially at the beginning of a sentence, use to this day ... (still): 'To this day I still don't understand why they got divorced.' |
