"还有" (háiyǒu) is used to express "in addition..." or "and
also..." in a conversation. It is introducing new information to
the topic the speaker is talking about, as an afterthought. While
it's not the most challenging grammar structure, an important thing
to keep in mind is that 还有 normally starts a completely new
sentence or clause.
Structure
It's as simple as using 还有 before the new clause or sentence. 还有
can also be used with a comma, similar to how we can say "in
addition,..." in English.
