How to use 还有
还有 is used in two main ways: to say something still remains, and to add another item to a list, like "also" or "and." In conversation it often starts a new sentence to add a point. Example: 我想买苹果，还有香蕉。(Wǒ xiǎng mǎi píngguǒ, hái yǒu xiāngjiāo.) I want to buy apples, and also bananas.
还 (hái) means still or yet, and 有 (yǒu) means to have or there is. Put them together and you get "there is still" or "and also there's more."
Common mistake: Many learners read 还 as huán here. In 还有 it is always hái, while huán means to give back, as in 还书 (huán shū), to return a book. Also do not confuse 还有 with 还是 (háishi), which means "or" in questions or "still" as before.
