How do you use still in a sentence?

Answer 1

The word 'stillness' is a noun, a word for a lack of motion or a lack of sound; a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

The stillness of the lake in the early morning is so calming.

• subject of the sentence

I enjoy reading on the patio which the stillness there permits.

• subject of the relative clause

The sound of crickets filled the stillness of the night.

• direct object of the verb 'filled'

We're grateful for the stillness when the children are finally asleep.

• object of the preposition 'for'

Answer 2

You can use "still" to indicate that something continues to be true or exist, despite other changes or circumstances. For example, "He still hasn't finished his homework" or "She is still waiting for a response."

Answer 3

"She still didn't want to go to bed!"
