Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'still' before 'haven't' to show you're surprised or frustrated that something hasn't happened yet.

Overview
still haven't 所捕捉到的。它是英语语法中的一颗明珠，能将一个简单的实情变成一种情绪。在英语语法的世界里，我们使用现在完成时 (Present Perfect) 来连接过去和现在。在像 I haven't finished 这样的否定句中加入 still，就会把它变成 I still haven't finished。这个小词很有分量。它告诉听者，你预计某事现在应该已经完成了。你不仅仅是在陈述一个事实，你还在分享你的惊讶、沮丧，甚至是一点点自嘲。这就是“我没做”和“我一直在努力，但我还没做到！”之间的区别。把它看作是“预期的语法”。你预期Uber已经到了。你预期Netflix剧集已经加载好了。你预期在五秒钟内就能理解这条规则。（别担心，你会理解的！）这种模式在现代生活中随处可见，从抱怨Wi-Fi慢到承认你还没开始写那篇明天就要交的1000字论文。这很容易引起共鸣，很人性化，坦白说，这也是我们大多数人在压力大时的说话方式。How This Grammar Works
still haven't 关乎一段感觉过长的的时间线。想象一个停在99%的进度条。这就是 still haven't 的氛围。当你使用这种模式时，你是在观察一个从过去开始并持续到你说话的那一秒的时间段。通常，我们对发生在不确定时间的事情使用现在完成时。但是当我们加入 still 时，我们是在强调动作的“缺失”正在持续。它就像一个不愿离开你房子的顽固幽灵。你可能会说 I haven't seen that movie yet，意思是计划最终会看。但如果你说 I still haven't seen that movie，你可能是在回应一个惊讶于你还没看过最新漫威大片的朋友。still 这个词就像一个荧光笔。它把注意力引向了延迟。在你的大脑里，有一个小闹钟在滴答作响，那个钟在说：“嘿，这事早该发生了！”这个语法点非常有用，因为它为你的对话增加了细微差别。它让你能够表达你的内在状态，而不需要使用像“恼火”或“不耐烦”这样的额外形容词。语法为你完成了繁重的工作。这就像是一个缩短路径，让你听起来更像母语者，更有表现力。此外，这是一个通过共同的沮丧感与他人建立联系的好方法。“你还没修好水槽吗？”“没，我还等水管工呢！”看吧？瞬间建立联系（也许还有一点点共同的恼火）。
Formation Pattern
I, You, My cat）。
still。这是最重要的部分！在这些否定句中，它总是出现在助动词*之前*。
haven't (have not) 或 hasn't (has not)。记住：对 he, she, 或 it 使用 hasn't。对其他所有人使用 haven't。
-ed 结尾（如 worked）。对于不规则动词，你需要记住它们（如 seen, done, 或 eaten）。
still + haven't/hasn't + Past Participle + (句子的其余部分)。
still 乱跑！在否定句中，它喜欢坐在主语和 haven't/hasn't 之间。如果你把它放在末尾，人们看你的眼神会像你刚试过用叉子喝汤一样。在某些方言中，技术上可以把它放在 haven't 之后，但对于B1学习者来说，把它放在前面是最安全、最自然的路径。
She (主语) + still + hasn't (助动词) + replied (过去分词) + to my DM (句子其余部分)。
When To Use It
still haven't。首先，当你感到 惊讶 时使用它。如果你已经等了一个短信五个小时，你可能会告诉朋友："He still hasn't texted me! still 表明你很久以前就期待那个通知了。其次，它非常适合表达 不耐烦。当你的外卖订单延迟，App在第40分钟还显示“正在准备”时，你可能会咕哝道：They still haven't dispatched my burger!« 第三，将它用于 个人目标或失败。如果你已经尝试学习编程好几个月了，但还没完成第一个教程，你可以承认：»I still haven't finished that Python course.« 这表现出了努力和持续的挣扎。第四，它对于 反驳假设 非常有用。如果有人问：“你巴黎之行怎么样？”而你尽管谈论了多年却实际上还没去，你会说：»I still haven't gone to Paris, actually.« 它纠正了对方的看法，同时也承认了延迟。最后，在 职业场合（小心使用！）使用它来表示进度受阻。»We still haven't received the final feedback." 这听起来比只说“我们还没收到”更主动、更紧迫。
Common Mistakes
still 放在句末，就像他们对待 yet 一样。记住：yet 在末尾，但 still 在动词前。I haven't eaten yet 很完美。I haven't eaten still 听起来像你是莎士比亚剧作中的角色。另一个大错误是 混淆时态。一些学习者会说 I still haven't eat。哎哟！你需要那个过去分词：eaten。现在完成时是一项团队运动；你既需要 have 又需要动词的第三种形式。还有 双重否定的陷阱。在某些语言中，你可能想说 I still don't haven't...。在英语中，haven't 里面已经包含“不”了。保持简单！此外，注意 主谓一致。对 he/she/it 使用 haven't 是一个典型的B1错误。它必须是 He still hasn't。最后，不要混淆 still haven't 和 still don't。对习惯或普遍事实使用 still don't（I still don't like olives）。对现在本该发生的具体动作使用 still haven't。Contrast With Similar Patterns
still haven't 和 haven't... yet 之间的区别是听起来像专业人士的关键。两者都表示动作还没发生。然而，yet 就像一个中立的观察者。I haven't finished my homework yet 是一个冷静的事实陈述。另一方面，I still haven't finished my homework 听起来像你盯着同一个数学题看了三个小时，快要把计算器扔出窗外了。Still 增加了 持续时间和预期 的层面。另一个常见的混淆是与 already。already 用于发生得比预期 *早* 的事情。你还应该把这与一般过去时 (I didn't finish) 区分开来。一般过去时只是过去的一个结束时刻。但 still haven't 关乎 现在。如果你昨天没写完，那是历史。如果你 still haven't finished，你可能还坐在书桌前。最后，不要把它与 still not 混淆。你可以说 I am still not ready（使用 'to be' 动词），这在含义上相似但使用了不同的语法结构。Quick FAQ
still haven't 吗？still 用法不同。你会说 I am still working（现在进行时）。对于“预期但未发生”的含义，它总是用在否定句中。still hasn't 只用于人吗？My phone still hasn't charged 或 The rain still hasn't stopped。still hasn't paid me back"，听起来很有对抗性。在谈论他人的责任时要小心使用。haven't yet 和 still haven't 的区别又是什么？yet 看作“现在还没，但很快”。把 still 看作“现在还没，而且我开始好奇为什么了！” 关键在于预期的强度。Conjugating 'Still Haven't'

文化笔记
British speakers are very strict about using the present perfect with 'still'. Using 'still didn't' sounds very American to them.
In casual American speech, you might hear 'I still didn't do it' instead of 'I still haven't done it'. However, 'still haven't' is preferred in writing.
Using 'still haven't' in an email can sound slightly accusatory. To be more polite, people often use 'haven't... yet' or 'I am still waiting for...'.
The word 'still' comes from Old English 'stille', meaning 'fixed' or 'quiet'.

常见问题 (8)
Usually, no. We use `already` for affirmative sentences (e.g., 'I have already finished'). `Still` is primarily used in negative sentences to show delay.
`Haven't yet` is neutral. `Still haven't` implies that the action was expected to happen earlier and often carries a tone of surprise or frustration.
It is always `still haven't`. The adverb `still` must precede the negative auxiliary verb.
In informal American English, yes (e.g., 'I still didn't do it'). However, for CEFR exams and formal writing, the present perfect `still haven't done` is the correct form.
No, it doesn't change the action itself, but it changes the *pragmatic* meaning—it tells the listener how you feel about the time the action is taking.
Adding `quite` makes the statement softer and less direct. It means you are very close to finishing but not 100% there.
Yes, but be careful. It can sound a bit impatient. If you want to be very polite, use `We haven't yet received...` instead of `We still haven't received...`.
No, that would be a double negative. Say `I still haven't seen it` or `I have never seen it`.

Word order is more flexible in Spanish.
Toujours pas / Pas encore

Chinese verbs do not change form (no past participle), so the 'méiyǒu' does all the work.
