If you "still" need help on how to use 还 (hái), then this is the page for you.
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
- 他 还 在 看 书。He is still reading.
- 现在 还 早。It's still early (now).
- 你们 还 小。You are all still young.
- 你 还 在 喝 酒 吗？Are you still drinking?
还 can also be used in a more idiomatic way to emphasize the idea of what should be happening:
- 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?
