Quando significa tuttora, in frase affermativa e interrogativa ancora si traduce solitamente con still: è ancora a casa = he is still at home; abita ancora qui? = does she still live here? - In frase negativa, (non) ancora si traduce con yet, che può seguire immediatamente not oppure stare in fondo alla frase: non è ancora arrivato = he has not yet arrived / he hasn't arrived yet; l'uso di still in frase negativa dà all'espressione una sfumatura di stupore o esasperazione: non è ancora tornata a casa! = she still hasn't come home! - Quando ancora significa di nuovo, nuovamente, si traduce per lo più con again: venite ancora a trovarci! = come and see us again! - Per gli altri usi si veda la voce qui sotto
