no more, not any more, no longer, not any longer

We use no more with nouns to talk about quantity or degree – to say how much.

  • There’s no more bread.

We do not use no more in standard modern English as an adverb to express the idea of actions and situations stopping. Instead, we use no longer (usually before the verb), not … any longer or not … any more.

  • I no longer support the Conservative party. (not I no more support …)
  • This can’t go on any longer.
  • I’m not helping you any more.

Anymore may be written as one word, especially in American English.

  • Annie doesn’t live here anymore.
