Why is "my father is at work again" not correct?

[GenevieveHalsted]

Question please:Mio padre è ancora al lavoro. As lavoro is "I work", why is it not "mio padre è ancora al il suo lavora" as in "his work"?

[DavidArmil]

this is my question exactly!!!

[DavidArmil]

I don't understand why it is lavoro but I verified it externally:
"Mio padre è ancora al lavora" = My father is still working

You are confusing the verb lavorare (1. person singular: lavoro) with the noun il lavoro. Similar situation as in English I cook and the cook - context is enough to understand which one is meant.

Apparently "my papa is still at work" doesn't work because your "dad" is not your "papa"? WHY DUOLINGO?!?!

[Lionette]

I wonder, why duolingo lists it ONLY as "even" if there are other meanings and it offers them in the exercises? Italian itself is difficult enough, do not mislead us, duolingo, please.

[tango-alpha]

so ancora can mean more, again, still, even, and yet?

Why is"my father is even at work" not right

[peephole]

Because that is not correct. My father is still at work.
