Hi Mr Alex.Thanks a lot for lesson, but I still have some questions. You mentioned that we can use “still” before an adjective, but can we use it with noun (e.g I’m still a student). And the second is: as I understood we can displace Present Perf.Progressive by “still”, Am I right?
Thanks a lot to all teachers. Very cool teaching… I’ve a confusion in using since and as, can you help me out?
Thanks a Lot mr Alex,it’s soo easy Now.
i hope u make new about passive and active voice
thanks alex! good lesson. I was thinking that I know the differences with these words. But you said something new for me. It is where I can use “now” in a sentence. I have a question for you: the word “still” have a rule like that?. Or just I have to use after the verb to be or before the verbs how you show us in your video. Thanks in advance
Thank Alex, i understand more now!

Dear teachers,
you all are really doing an excellent job.
I am a student of social since (international relations, politics) there are many terms I don’t unrestrained. I am sure I am not the only one, that don’t understand the terms or vocabulary in the news Is there any possibility to give us lessen about political, international relations glossary. also most of the time it is very difficult to get the meaning or understand the words in the news papers.
thank you very much for efforts.
best regards.

Thank u teacher, and may i ask u about ” can i say ( he doesn’t still live here anymore ) ”
And thank u too much
Hi Alex,
Thank u for teach us.
I still live with my parents, am I wrong?)))
When we can use To Do and To Be?
for example: Are you hungry or Do you hungry?
“Are you hungry” is correct
“Do you feel hungry” would also be correct
Thank you very much prof Alex!
Hi Alex,
At first thank you for your wonderful videos about english. For this particular video, I have a question for you.
“She still lives with her parents.”
“She’s still living with her parents.”
What is the difference between the above two sentences? What is the proper way to use them?
Once again thank you.
Hi Manoj
Yours is a very good question. The two sentences are very close in meaning and are almost identical. Certainly in England most people would not see any difference. “She lives” suggests a more permanent situation than “She is living”. Because I live in England and always have done and will continue to live here I would say “I live in England”. If someone comes to England and knows they will be here for a year and will then leave they would say “I am living in England”. In the second case they might add “but I will be going back to Paris next year” or something similar. I think the same idea can be used in your sentences containing “still”.
I am about to start a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language so by the end I may be able to give you a definite answer! PS only replying as no one from EngVid has responded.
nice explanation, thanks a lot
It’s a very good explanation to a good question.
mr. alex keep i’m watching your teaching.. its really good..
Thnaks alex!!
Good!!!
thanks alex.its really work for me.
Hello Alex,you,re a nice person and better teacher, your explanations are very clear which help us to understand or remain our knowledge of English.

Cool lesson, excellent teacher! Thank you Alex!
hi thank you teacher
Can you help me !!!!!!!!
between can and could ????????
thankuuu. very easy to understand.
Hi Alex
u r such a nice person.
i got 10/10
can we use “STILL” before subject as like “NOW”.
I’m not Alex, and I apologize if non-teachers are not supposed to give replies here and I shouldn’t have done it. However, maybe this could help you a bit.
So, if you use ‘still’ as an adverb, you can put it at the beginning of a sentence. E.g.:
He can be crazy. Still, he’s harmless.
‘Still’ here means ‘however’, or ‘nevertheless’.
It’s okay! You’re absolutely right. :)
Thank you for your appreciation!

1 Due to the volume of emails we receive we are unable to respond to the emails where the answer can be found on our web site itself
2 If you have gone to a website where you have to create an account for yourself..
3 This procedure should be followed in cases where dishonesty has been alleged.

Yehay! Right now, I’m very happy with my result. I got 5/5. I thought I’m going to have one mistake because I am confused with the fourth question.
Thanks Mr Alex. Very simple and useful. I do appreciate.
Well done Alex, that lesson was quite useful to me, because Now I clearly understand much more the difference between “now and still”, so, I’m still improved and of course, I gonna write a lots of mistakes, however, I´m doing my best!
Thanks!
Thanks！
Now I got it all correct.
. Are you full yet?
No, I’m hungry now.
No, I’m still hungry.
The correct answer for me is the first.
The second answer could be correct if the questione is “Aren’t you full yet?”.
It’s my opinion, I ask you to correct me if I am wrong.. thanks!
Thank you Mr. Alex. Now I am ready to watch next lesson.
I watched this video twice on June 06, 2021, and took the quiz after watching it once. I got five correct out of 5.

Can I say: she hasn’t finished cooking yet. she is still cooking now. I mean is it correct grammatically to use still and now in the same sentence this way?
THANK’S A LOT OF
