will still be

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to indicate that something will continue to be in a certain state or condition in the future.

  • The flowers will still be blooming next week.
  • The project will still be ongoing by the end of the month.

  • The restaurant will still be open late on weekends.

Alternatives:

will be still

This phrase is not correct in English.

The correct phrase is "will still be." In English, adverbs like "still" usually come before the main verb, so the correct order is "will still be." On the other hand, "will be still" is not a common or correct construction in English.
