Hi Brinda, (1) 'Still' can be used with several verb tenses: I am still here. I am still waiting. In spite of my low grades, I have still managed to pass three courses.

Brinda,
There are a number of errors in your message, but one that you must watch out for is "write or wrong" instead of "right or wrong". If you were speaking these words, it would be obvious which you meant from the context, but in written English, the mistake is very clear!
What an annoying language English can be!

Hello Brinda
"Still" can be used with tenses other than the present:
1. 'She still hadn't gone at 6 o'clock.'
2. 'She was still standing there at 6 o'clock.'
3. 'She still stood there, even though it was past 6 o'clock.'
4. 'She will still be leaving at 6 o'clock.'
