No longer
No Longer drückt eine vergangene/nicht mehr mögliche Handlung oder einen veränderten Zustand aus:
With his leg in a cast, he will no longer be able to walk to the office. Mit seinem eingegipsten Bein wird er nicht mehr in der Lage sein zum Büro zu gehen.
Now that he is in San Francisco, Horatio can no longer swim daily in the river. Jetzt wo Horatio in San Francisco ist, kann er nicht mehr täglich im Fluss schwimmen.
Übung 1
We will be accepting applications for the position of laboratory assistant, because the position has already been filled. Therefore, we will not need our ad in the newspaper .
We will no longer 1 be accepting applications for the position of laboratory assistant, because the position has already been filled. Therefore, we will not need our ad in the newspaper any longer 2.
1 no longer: 'No longer' expresses the end to an action which had continued until a certain time. It is the best answer here.
1 no more: We cannot use 'no more' in this sentence because it is grammatically incorrect. 'No more' is usually used to describe an amount or quantity, rather than a period of time.
1 no: Using 'no' here makes this sentence grammatically incorrect. 'No' can be used to create negation in a sentence however. For example: There are no cookies left in the kitchen.
1 any more: Using 'any more' in this sentence makes it grammatically incorrect. 'Any more' is generally after a negative term to create the equivalent to 'no longer' in negative constructions.
2 any longer: 'Any longer' is the correct choice here because it correctly indicates the end of an action. Negation is not needed in this part of the sentence because 'will not' carries the negation of the construction. Expressions using the term any (any longer, any more, any where, anything) are used in negative constructions as the equivalent of expressions such as 'no longer', 'no more', 'nowhere', 'nothing' etc.
2 no longer: Because 'will not' already carries the negation of the sentence, we cannot use 'no longer' because it creates a double negative which is grammatically incorrect.
2 nothing: 'Nothing' refers to the absence of an object or idea. This sentence requires a term which refers to the end of an action.
2 anything: Using 'any thing' in this sentence makes it grammatically incorrect. 'Any thing' is generally after a negative term to create the equivalent to 'no longer' in negative constructions.
Übung 2
Susie: Philip, I can tolerate your insensitive comments about women in the office.
Philip: I'm really sorry Susie. It's just that your beauty drives me crazy, and I just can't take it .
Philip: I'm really sorry Susie. It's just that your beauty drives me crazy, and I just can't take it .
Susie: Philip, I can no longer 1 tolerate your insensitive comments about women in the office.
Philip: I'm really sorry Susie. It's just that your beauty drives me crazy, and I just can't take it any longer 2.
Philip: I'm really sorry Susie. It's just that your beauty drives me crazy, and I just can't take it any longer 2.
1 no longer: 'No longer' expresses the end to an action which had continued until a certain time. It is the best answer here.
1 any longer: Because there is no negation in the phrase, we cannot use 'any longer' here.
2 any longer: 'Any longer' is the correct choice here because it correctly expresses the end of an action.
2 no longer: Because 'can't' already carries the negation of the phrase, we cannot use 'no longer' because it creates a double negative which is grammatically incorrect.
Übung 3
Bruno: Polly, please make sure that people interrupt me during my massage session.
Polly: Yes, sir, Mr. Delavigne. You will be bothered.
Bruno: Excellent.
Polly: Yes, sir, Mr. Delavigne. You will be bothered.
Bruno: Excellent.
Bruno: Polly, please make sure that no more 1 people interrupt me during my massage session.
Polly: Yes, sir, Mr. Delavigne. You will no longer 2 be bothered.
Bruno: Excellent.
Polly: Yes, sir, Mr. Delavigne. You will no longer 2 be bothered.
Bruno: Excellent.
1 no more: This is the best choice here. We use 'no more' to describe an amount or quantity. In this case we refer to people.
1 no longer: 'No longer' is incorrect here, because we are not speaking about a period of time, but a number of people.
1 any: 'Any' is grammatically incorrect here because the sentence does not carry any negation. When we speak about people, we usually use the pronouns 'anyone', 'anybody' or 'nobody'!
2 no longer: We use 'no longer' here because Polly is telling Bruno that 'from this moment in time' he will not be bothered. This is the best choice.
2 no more: We cannot use 'no more' in this sentence because it is grammatically incorrect. 'No more' is usually used to describe an amount or quantity, rather than a period of time.
2 no: We cannot use 'no' in this sentence. It does not express that Bruno will not be bothered 'anymore'.
Übung 4
Bruno: Polly, I believe I already told you that I didn't want people interrupting me.
Polly: I promise you, sir, that people have come through this office.
Bruno: Then why is there a monkey sitting on my desk?
Polly: He must have entered through the window, sir.
Bruno: I will tolerate this sort of thing, Polly. Please call Horatio and send him in here.
Polly: I promise you, sir, that people have come through this office.
Bruno: Then why is there a monkey sitting on my desk?
Polly: He must have entered through the window, sir.
Bruno: I will tolerate this sort of thing, Polly. Please call Horatio and send him in here.
Bruno: Polly, I believe I already told you that I didn't want any more 1 people interrupting me.
Polly: I promise you, sir, that no more 2 people have come through this office.
Bruno: Then why is there a monkey sitting on my desk?
Polly: He must have entered through the window, sir.
Bruno: I will no longer 3 tolerate this sort of thing, Polly. Please call Horatio and send him in here.
Polly: I promise you, sir, that no more 2 people have come through this office.
Bruno: Then why is there a monkey sitting on my desk?
Polly: He must have entered through the window, sir.
Bruno: I will no longer 3 tolerate this sort of thing, Polly. Please call Horatio and send him in here.
1 any more: Because the verb 'to do' already carries the negation of the sentence, we must use 'any more' to describe 'people'.
1 no more: We cannot use 'no more' because the verb 'to do' already carries the negation of the sentence, and this would create a double negative.
1 no longer: We cannot use 'no longer' here, because we are not speaking about time.
2 no more: Because the sentence is affirmative, we must use the negative phrase 'no more' to describe people.
2 any more: Because the sentence is affirmative, we cannot use 'any more' to describe people.
2 no longer: We cannot use 'no longer' here, because we are not speaking about time.
3 no longer: We use 'no longer' here because we are expressing a relationship of time.
3 no more: We cannot use 'no more' in this sentence because it is grammatically incorrect. 'No more' is usually used to describe an amount or quantity, rather than a period of time.
3 any longer: We cannot use 'any more' in this sentence because this sentence does not carry any negation.
Übung 5
Luna has written a letter to the cleaning company. Complete the letter below with the most appropriate words or phrases.
Dear Sir or Madam,
the standard of service the cleaner you sent us, Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús, is totally . Here are but two reasons for our dissatisfaction.
-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.
-Since he started working here, our once-manageable rodent problem has become out of control, and we've been forced to exterminators to resolve the problem.
Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will be using your company to meet our cleansing needs. I remind you that the cleaner you sent us was caught stealing the office plants, the one before her was discovered hiding under the desk of our marketing director, trying to look up her skirt, and the gentleman before that had to be brought down from the roof by the police. Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation you that the contract between our two companies is terminated.
Thank you for your understanding,
Regards,
Luna DeLune

Luna has written a letter to the cleaning company. Complete the letter below with the most appropriate words or phrases.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I regret to inform you that 1 the standard of service provided by 2 the cleaner you sent us, Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús, is totally unsatisfactory 3. Here are but two reasons for our dissatisfaction.
-He doesn't clean. I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't know how, or he just doesn't want to.
-Since he started working here, our once-manageable rodent problem has become out of control, and we've been forced to hire 4 exterminators to resolve the problem.
Before you offer to replace Mr. Jorge Miguel Santa María Jesús with another one of your employees, I should let you know that the Delavigne Corporation will no longer 5 be using your company to meet our cleansing needs. I remind you that the previous 6 cleaner you sent us was caught stealing the office plants, the one before her was discovered hiding under the desk of our marketing director, trying to look up her skirt, and the gentleman before that had to be brought down from the roof by the police. Our CEO kindly decided not to press charges, but I fear that one more such incident would tip the balance.
It is therefore my obligation to inform 7 you that the contract between our two companies is hereby 8 terminated.

1 I regret to inform you that: "I regret to inform you..." is a common, polite way to introduce bad news, and is the best choice here. An example: "We regret to inform our customers that we will no longer be selling apples".
1 I have the pleasure of informing you that: It does not make sense to introduce bad news with a positive statement such as this.
1 I would like to know if: Luna is not asking anything, so a question construction doesn't make sense.
2 provided by: "Provided by" is the best choice here. To "provide" a service is to supply it to someone. This sentence uses a passive construction. Example: "Sandwiches were provided by the organisers of the event".
2 monitored by: To "monitor (a situation)" is to "observe" or "survey" it. This does not make sense here.
2 esteemed by: To "esteem" someone is to "respect" them or "hold them in high regard". This does not make sense here.
3 unsatisfactory: "Unsatisfactory" is the best choice here. "Unsatisfactory" service is "inadequate" or "not good enough". Example: "Michael's behaviour at school is unsatisfactory".
3 radical: The term "radical" shares a similar meaning with "extreme". It can also mean "cool" or "excellent" when used by surfers. It is inappropriate here.
3 unsatisfying: Something which is "unsatisfying" leaves us "hungry" or "unfulfilled". It does not make sense here.
3 satisfactionless: This term does not exist.
4 hire: "Hire" is the best choice here. To "hire" someone is to "employ" them or "provide work" for them. Example: "Andrew has hired a cleaner to help him keep his house tidy".
4 fire: To "fire" someone is to "dismiss" or "sack" them. This does not make sense here.
4 release: To "release" something is to "set it free" or "liberate it". This does not make sense here.
5 no longer: The expression "no longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more" or "not any more", meaning that something has ended or stopped. Example: "I will no longer be eating cheese: I'm going vegan".
5 longer: The term "longer" means "more long", and it does not make sense here.
5 more: "More" means "additionally", and does not make sense here.
6 previous: "Previous" is the best answer here. The term "previous" shares a similar meaning with "former" or "past". In this context, Luna is referring to the cleaner who used to work at Delavigne in the past. Example: "Miriam's previous boyfriends were all slightly strange".
6 earliest: The term "earliest" means "first", chronologically. It does not make sense here.
6 following: The term "following" means "coming after or later". It is quite the opposite of the word Luna needs here.
6 ancient: The term "ancient" means "very old", and is not appropriate here.
7 to inform: "To inform" someone of something is to "tell them about it". The construction "it is my obligation to inform you that..." is a useful, formal phrase to introduce an official piece of news. Example: "It is my obligation to inform you that anything you say may be used in evidence in court".
7 to ask: "Ask" does not make sense here. Luna is making a statement; she is not asking a question.
7 to say: It does not make sense to use "to say" here. It is grammatically incorrect to "say someone something". Moreover, "to say" refers to spoken language, not letters.
7 to regret: To "regret (an event)" is to feel sorry or sad that it happened. This term does not make sense here.
8 hereby: "Hereby" is the best choice here. This little word means "by this document" or "as a result of this letter". Luna is saying that her letter serves as notice that the contract between Delavigne and the cleaning company has been ended. Another example: "I hereby resign from my job at this company".
8 by here: "By here" is a very colloquial expression meaning "around here". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
8 thereby: The term "thereby" refers to an action which is distant in time or space. It means "by that document" or "as a result of that letter". Since Luna is writing her own letter, we need the closer term: "hereby".
8 hypothetically: The term "hypothetically" means "in principle" or "in theory". It does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
