Where should I put the word "still" in a sentence? #1 (permalink) Thu May 17, 2007 11:58 am   Where should I put the word "still" in a sentence?
 

Hi, everyone,

Could anyone tell me which one of the two sentences below is correct or none of them?

1. I still can not catch the bus.
2. I can still not catch the bus.

Why? Thanks
