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
- 我 今天 要 考试。还有 ，必须 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.</spa>
- 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.
- 普通话 很难。还有 ，专家 觉得 日语、广东话、韩语，这 三 门 语言 也 很难。Chinese is very hard. Furthermore, experts think that Japanese, Cantonese, and Korean are also hard.
