Questions & Answers about Todavía tengo que firmar el anexo del contrato antes de salir de la oficina.

Why does the sentence start with todavía?

Todavía means still / yet here. It shows that the action has not happened yet, but it is still pending.

So Todavía tengo que firmar... means something like:

• I still have to sign...
• I haven’t signed it yet; I still need to do it

Putting todavía near the beginning is very natural because it sets the situation right away.

A close synonym is aún:

• Aún tengo que firmar...

Both are correct, though todavía is very common in everyday speech.

Why is there no subject pronoun like yo?

Spanish often omits subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• tengo = I have

So (yo) tengo que firmar is understood automatically.

You could say:

• Yo todavía tengo que firmar el anexo...

But adding yo usually gives extra emphasis, contrast, or clarity. In a neutral sentence, leaving it out is more natural.
