Keywords
"还有" (háiyǒu) is used to express "In addition..." in a conversation. It is introducing new information to the topic the speaker(s) is/are talking about. While it's not the most challenging grammar structure, an important thing to keep in mind is that 还有 starts a completely new sentence or clause.
Structure
It's as simple as using 还有 before the new clause or sentence. 还有 can also be used with a comma, similar to how we can say "in addition, . . ." in English.
Clause 1 ， 还有 + (，)+ Clause 2
Examples
- 你 需要 吃 点 药。还有，要 多 休息。You need to take some medicine and get more rest.
- 你 跟 他 一起 去 吧。还有，别 忘 了 带 这 些 材料。Please go with him. Also, don't forget to bring this material.
- 我 今天 要 考试。还有 ，我 必须 要 写 完 中文 作文。Oh, man! I’m going to have a exam today and I have to finish writing my Chinese essay.
- 今天 特别 倒霉，他的 女朋友 离开 了 他，还有 他 的 老板 要 解雇 他。Today it's really unlucky. His girlfriend left him and on top of that, his boss is going to fire him.
