When to use Continuing Time Adverbs

Read 仍旧 / 依旧 / 一向 as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 依旧 adds to it.

房间依旧很乱。

The room is still messy.

他依旧住在那里。

He still lives there.

Common traps

  • Do not translate 仍旧 / 依旧 / 一向 mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 依旧 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.

Targeted drill

Practice this exact pattern before moving on.
