🕒 The "Still" Secret

In the story, we see: "Angel Reese played very well, but her team still lost."

What does this mean? We use still when something happens even though we expected a different result.

  • Expectation: Play well \rightarrow Win
  • Reality: Play well \rightarrow Still lose

🛠️ How to use it (The Simple Way)

Put still before the action word (the verb).

  • I studied hard, but I still failed the test.
  • It is raining, but I still want to go outside.
  • He is tired, but he still works.

💡 Quick Note

Still = "Despite this" \rightarrow It shows a surprise or a problem that didn't change.
