🔹Position of “still” in a sentence


The position of “still” in a sentence depends on the type of verb:


⚪️If the sentence has a main verb without auxiliary verb, “still” comes immediately before it.

◻️I still watch cartoons.

⚫️If the sentence has an auxiliary / modal verb, “still” goes in the middle position between the auxiliary / modal and the main verb.

◼️He is still waiting for the bus.

🔴Finally, if the sentence has the verb “be” as a main verb or linking verb, then “still” goes after the verb “to be“.

♦️I am still tired.

Comma Splice


🔻A comma splice occurs when you divide two complete clauses with a comma. Although we may use this phrasing when we speak, it is always a mistake when you write.

🔸Hand me the salt and pepper, the eggs are bland. ✘
🔸You sat on my pastry, now I can’t eat it. ✘
🔸The birds come to the feeder every day, I have to refill it
constantly. ✘

🔻When two clauses are related, they should be joined by a comma
and a conjunction
, or divided by either a semicolon or a period (if they belong in two separate sentences). If you examine the incorrect examples, you will notice that—in addition to the solution of using either a semicolon or a period—you might alternatively try using a conjunction such as because, so, or and.

🔹You sat on my pastry, so now I can’t eat it. ✔️
🔹You sat on my pastry; now I can’t eat it. ✔️

Bonus:

🔻Although a semicolon is a handy replacement in a comma splice for related clauses, one should never separate unrelated clauses with a semicolon.

🔹The birds come to the feeder every day; tomorrow I leave for Zimbabwe.

It may have a nice ring to it, but the clauses have nothing to do with each other.
