no longer; not any longer
Used with a negative verb to say that something that was true or happened before does not happen now.
Patrón de uso:
not [verb] anymore
Error frecuente:
Learners often confuse 'anymore' (time) with 'any more' (quantity). Use 'anymore' to talk about time, usually with a negative: 'I don't drive anymore.' Use 'any more' for amounts: 'I don't want any more coffee.' Another mistake is putting 'anymore' in positive sentences in standard English, where 'now' or 'these days' is more natural: say 'I live here now,' not 'I live here anymore,' in most contexts.

no longer (Very close in meaning but usually placed before the verb or after the subject, as in 'I no longer live there.')
Antónimos
still ('Still' shows that an action or state continues up to now, which is the opposite of stopping as in 'not anymore.')
