Questions & Answers about Todavía vivo en Madrid.

Why isn't the word yo (I) used before vivo?
In Spanish, the verb ending usually tells you who is doing the action. Because vivo ends in -o, it already means "I live". You only need to add yo if you want to add special emphasis, like saying "I myself still live in Madrid."
Does todavía always mean "still"?
It usually means "still" when used in a positive sentence like this one. If you use it in a negative sentence, like todavía no, it changes meaning to "not yet".
Why do we use en for "in Madrid" instead of a?
In Spanish, you use en to talk about being located at or inside a place, like a city or a country. You only use a (to) when you are talking about movement or traveling toward a destination.
Can I put todavía at the end of the sentence instead?
Yes! Spanish word order is quite flexible. You can say Vivo en Madrid todavía and it means exactly the same thing. Putting it at the beginning just places a little more focus on the fact that your living situation hasn't changed.
