Wow, starting with four different examples for 'noch' already! It's pretty clear from the get-go that this word is going to be way more complex than I thought. I like how they're immediately setting up the different meanings.

Okay, so 'still' is the big one, and they're breaking it down into three situations. It's really helpful that they're acknowledging that this is a common sticking point for learners, makes me feel less alone with the confusion.

These examples for 'still' being an ongoing state are perfect. 'Ich lebe noch in Taiwan' and 'Hans ist noch zu Hause' make it super clear. The 'Bist du noch da?' example is also something I've definitely heard and used.
