Lesson summary
Read the sample sentence and notice how 仍旧…… works in the frame: 仍旧 A.
仍旧 is close to 仍然, but 仍旧 often has a stronger sense of “as before.” It can describe habits, states, operations, or attitudes that continue. Do not confuse it with 尚未, which means “not yet.” 仍旧 is not a negative by itself.
