Questions & Answers about Tu t'entraînes encore ce soir ?

Why does encore come right after the verb?
In French, short adverbs like encore (again), souvent (often), and toujours (always) almost always go immediately after the conjugated verb. You cannot put it at the very end of the sentence like we usually do in English.
Does encore mean "again" or "still"?
It can mean both! You have to use the context to figure it out. Here, "Are you still working out tonight?" makes less sense than "Are you working out again tonight?" because it refers to a planned action for this evening.
What does the t' stand for in t'entraînes?
It stands for te, which means "yourself". The verb is s'entraîner, which is a reflexive verb meaning "to train" or "to work out". In French, you literally say "You train yourself". The e drops out because entraînes starts with a vowel.
Why is it ce soir instead of le soir?
The word ce means "this". So ce soir literally means "this evening", which is the standard way to say "tonight" in French. If you wanted to talk about evenings in general, you would use le soir.
