Still & No Longer Exercises
B1 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
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.
Quick Rule
subject + still + main verb | subject + be + still + adjective/-ing | subject + no longer + main verb | subject + be + no longer + adjective/available
