🕒 The 'Still' Pattern

In the text, we see: "some old village leaders are still in power."

What does this mean? Use still when a situation does not change. It continues from the past into now.

Simple Examples:

  • I am still a student. → (I was a student before, and I am a student now).
  • It is still raining. → (It started raining, and it has not stopped).
  • He is still unhappy. → (He was sad, and he is sad now).

⚖️ Action Words: 'Looking at' vs 'Waiting for'

Notice how the text uses these pairs:

  1. Looking at (Checking/Studying)

    • "Courts... are looking at how some people got their jobs."
  2. Waiting for (Expecting something to happen)

    • "The courts are waiting for the government to answer."

Quick Tip: Use Waiting for + [Person/Thing]. Example: I am waiting for the bus.
