Toujours or encore ?



Toujours is being red-lined at the end of this lesson. However as the action "hesitation' or 'being unsure' is ongoing, these 3 links from Laura Lawless suggest to me that toujours is the better word for 'still' in this context. At the very least, they indicate that toujours is a correct option.

Bonjour Maarten,

In this case, 'toujours' wouldn't fit as it would refer to its first meaning of 'always' (= a habit). Here are two previous explanations from Cécile and Aurélie : 

toujours-ou-encore   -   encore-vs-toujours

I hope this is helpful. ;-) 

Bonne journée !
