    ANY LONGER = ANYMORE = NO LONGER

    We use anymore and any longer at the end of a sentence when the verb is negative.
    Ex.: I don’t smoke any longer (or) I don’t smoke anymore

    After although we use a subject + verb
    Ex.: Although I had seen her before, I didn’t recognize her.

    We use though in the middle of a sentence. It can be used at the end of a sentence, but in
    this case it has the meaning of however.
    Ex.: I didn’t get the job, though I had all the necessary qualifications.
    She is intelligent but she can’t get a job

    Ex.: We liked the hotel. It’s a bit expensive though.

    Even though is a stronger form of although.


    Ex.: Even though I was really tired, I couldn’t sleep.

    Despite what I said last night, I still love her.
    I’m not tired, in spite of working hard
    Obs.: We use despite without of
    Ex.: I couldn’t sleep last night, despite being tired.

    We use AS For two things happening together.
    Ex.: I watched her as she opened the letter.
    Ex.: Diana arrived as I left.
    Ex.: Just as I sat down, the phone rang.

    When one thing happening during another.
