'not any more' vs 'no more' vs 'not any longer' #1 (permalink) Mon Jun 25, 2007 13:38 pm   'not any more' vs 'no more' vs 'not any longer'
 

Hi All,

If somebody asks me whether I'm still in the lunchtime, I could answer following:

No, I've already finished the lunch.

But how to say it briefly?

Q: Do you still have lunch?

A: - not anymore
no more
not any longer

Q: Do you still have lunch? (you cant use the present simple here to convey what you mean)

A: - not anymore
no more
not any longer

-- are you still having lunch?

Hi Atilla,

I think what lost soul wants to say is that this is not the right situation to use those expressions...
