Using "Still"

“Still + a negative present perfect” is a synonym for “negative present perfect + yet”.
It’s used to indicate that something hasn’t been done but that you intend to do it.
Examples :
. “I still haven’t seen The Bear TV series. I’ll probably start watching it next week.”
. “He still hasn’t replied to my email but I expect to get an answer before the end of the week. He’s very reliable.”
