🗝️ The 'Still' Pattern
In the text, we see this word twice:
- "Some people are still missing."
- "Experts are still looking for them."
What does it mean? Use still when something started in the past and is continuing now. It is like a bridge from yesterday to today.
Simple Rule: [Subject] + [am/is/are] + still + [action/state]
Examples for your life:
- I am still a student.
- It is still raining.
- We are still learning English.
📅 Past vs. Present
Look at how the story moves between two times:
Past (Finished)
- They met They buried They spoke
- Tip: Most of these end in -ed.
Present (Now)
- People are missing A museum helps
- Tip: These describe the situation today.
