Still and yet

 As you know, yet and still  can be adverbs of time.

  • Mike is still at work.  He hasn't repaired the sink yet.

However, as conjunctions,  yet and still appear at the beginning of clauses and have different meanings:

still means something similar to "nevertheless, admitting that".

While yet  means "inspite of that/all the same/nevertheless"

  • Mike is not hard-working; still, he has  managed to become a millinaire.
  • The films is boring; yet people go to cinema to watch it.
