\r\nIf you "still" need help on how to use 还 (hái), then this is the page for you.\r\n== Basic uses of "还" ==\r\n=== Structure ===\r\n还 (hái) can be used to indicate that something is continuing - that it's still a particular way. \r\n
\r\nSubject + 还 + Verb + Object\r\n
\r\nOften the auxiliary verb 在 will appear with 还, as it is natural to talk about continuous actions that are still happening.\r\n=== Examples ===\r\n
\r\n* 他 还 在 看 书。He is still reading.
- 我 还 在 加班。I am still working overtime.
- 十点了，你 还 睡？It's ten o'clock, are you still sleeping?
- 你 还 在 喝 酒 吗？Are you still drinking?
- 你们 的 孩子 还 上学？Do your children still go to school?
- 还 笑？我 要 生气 了。Still laughing. I am getting mad.
- 他 还 在 吃饭。He is still eating.
- 还 写 作业 呢？Still making homework?
- 还 用 你 的 旧 手机 啊？Are you still using your old cellphone?
- 你 还 在 那里 工作？Are you still working there?
- 老板 还 不 知道 这 件 事。The boss still doesn't know about this thing.
- 不好意思，还 没 做 好。I'm sorry, I haven't finished yet.\r\n
\r\n== Special uses of "还" with "不" ==\r\n=== Structure ===\r\nWhen 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. \r\n
\r\nSubject + 还 不 + Verb + Object\r\n
\r\n=== Examples ===\r\n
\r\n* 你还 不去吃饭？ (implying the listener should go to eat)You still haven't eaten?
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?
你们 还 不 下 班？Are you still not off work?
他 怎么 还 不 来？Why has he still not come?
九点了，为什么 还 不 开始？It's nine o'clock, why have we still not started?
你 还 不 知道 他 是 什么 人？Do you still not know which person he is?
这么 大 了，还 不 结婚？That old and you are still not married?
你 还 不 说 实话？Are you still not telling the truth?
工作两年了，还 不 会 用 电脑？You've been working for two years already and you still can't use a computer?
