If you "still" need help on how to use 还 (hái), then this is the page for you.

还 的基本用法

Structure

还 (hái) can be used to indicate that something is continuing - that it's still a particular way.

Subject + 还 + Verb + Object

Often the auxiliary verb 在 will appear with 还, as it is natural to talk about continuous actions that are still happening.

Examples

  • 我 还 在 加班。
  • 十点了，你 还 睡？

  • 还 写 作业 呢？
  • 还 用 你 的 旧 手机 啊？
  • 你 还 在 那里 工作？
  • 老板 还 不 知道 这 件 事。
  • 不好意思，还 没 做 好。

"还" 跟 "不" 的特殊用法

Structure

When you put 不 or 没 after 还 (hái) in a question sentence, it can be used to emphasize the idea of what should be happening in a more idiomatic way.

Subject + 还 不 + Verb + Object

Examples

  • 你还 不去吃饭？ (implying the listener should go to eat)You still won't go eat?
  • 我 对 你 那么 好，你还 不高兴？ (implying the listener shouldn't be so glum)I'm so good to you, you're still not happy?
