Hi! Today we will talk about words like any more? any longer and no longer
Any more and any longer are pretty much the same
and are always used in the end of the sentnce
fro example: Jane doesn't live here any more
or Jane doesn't live here any longer
But no longer is always used in the middle of the sentence
and it is used instead of axillary verb
fro example
Jane no longer lives here
So it just makes it easier to make this kind of construction
so this is pretty easy , right?
any more any longer - at the end of the sentence , no longer in the middle of the sentence
what about no more?
Jane lives here no more
We know, that it will be the correct way to put it in a sentence
because in english, you know, we cannot make double negatives
but it sounds weird
Lane lives here no more
The difference between all these words - in the way they sound in english lanuage
Any more is pretty fine. Jane doesn't live here any more
It's simple, understandable, sounding really good sentence
Jane no longer lives here - sounds formal
and serious and official
It's like some kind of authority is telling you that -
Jane no longer lives here
and the third one - Jane lives here no more
is copletely old-fashioned
You can here it in like, I don't know, Game of Thrones, for example
because it sounds very..... It doesn't sound modern
It's kind of a saying from calssic literature -
he loves me no more
Yeah - it just sounds really like , ugh, ok
So let's sum everything up
any more and any longer are used at the end of a sentence to say that something doesn't happen eny more
It has ended
and it sounds pretty simple and usual for everybody
Jane doesn't live here any more
no longer is used in the middle of a sentence for the same reson
but it sounds a bit more official
Jane no longer lives here
and no more ,which usually happens at the end of a sentence , is an old-fashioned way to say that smth has ended
jane lives here no more
and one last thing
anymore in one word is used in American English
In British English it's usually 2 words
That's it for today/I hope it was helpful and interesting
