Still & No Longer Exercises
B1 Level
Still and no longer describe whether a situation continues or
has stopped. Use still when something remains true: "She still works here." It often
looks back to an earlier situation and says there has been no change. Use no longer
when a previous situation has ended: "She no longer works here." It sounds more formal than
not... anymore, which is more common in casual everyday speech.
Word position is important. Still usually goes before the main verb or after be: "They still live nearby" and "He is still nervous." No longer usually goes before the main verb or after be: "The shop no longer accepts cash" and "This service is no longer available." Context words such as quit, moved, changed, or continues tell you whether the situation has ended or not. These expressions are useful for jobs, habits, services, beliefs, and living arrangements in everyday and formal written contexts too.
