30 Examples of Still and still

Still it is a sequence that means “still like this” ( The house was messy and continues still like this ) . Even so, it is a connector that is equivalent to “despite that”, “with everything”, “however” ( Even so , with all the obstacles ahead, we will keep trying ).

The expressions “still” and “even so” are homophones , that is, they sound phonetically the same but their meaning is different and they are written differently. In orality, when hearing any of these forms, we may not be certain whether they have an accent or not, so sometimes confusion can be generated.

When is each used?

• Still . It is a sequence formed by the adverb of time “yet”, followed by the adverb of “thus”. It is recognized because “still” can be replaced by “still”, and therefore must have an accent. For example: Five minutes after leaving for the party, you are still like this , in your pajamas.
• Even so . It is a connector that can be paraphrased by “despite that” or “even if it were”, among other constructions. It is recognized because “still” can be replaced by “even” or “until”, and therefore does not carry an accent. For example: I don’t know you, yet I still decided to trust you.
