"Still" can be an adverb of time, meaning continuing from an unspecified point in the past to the present, as in, "The patient is still alive." This adverb "still" modifies the adjective "alive". "Still" can also modify verbs, particularly progressive ones, and in, "That loudmouth is still talking."

Yes, it can be (meaning currently), e.g. Snow is still falling.

It can also be a noun (distillery), an adjective (unmoving, or quiet), or a verb (to make stationary or silent).
