In one of your lessons, you have the following sentence “Ich bin Paul und immer noch ledig”. I assume this sentence can also be written as “Ich bin Paul und noch ledig”. Is it correct that writing “immer noch” helps emphasize the word still?
Immer noch vs noch

Hallo RexV!
Indeed, immer noch has a slightly difference emphasis than just noch.
You can find a full description of the difference between noch and immer noch here in our thread from a few weeks ago: https://members.rocketlanguages.com/members/forum/german-grammar/mixed-questions
If you still have any questions after revisiting this thread, please let me know!
Bis bald,

I see.
So, I can use the word ”immer” to add emphasis to a sentence.
Examples:
Bist du noch nicht fertig? = Are you still not finish
Bist du immer noch nicht fertig? = Same but a bit more harsh
Warum ist das Zug noch nicht hier? = Is the train not yet here
Warum ist das Zug immer noch nicht hier? = Same but with more emphasis
Please confirm my understanding is correct?
