Dear native English speakers,
I have a question about the usage of "anymore", "no longer" and "any longer".
(a) He no longer lives in this apartment.
I asked if (a) sounds natural. A British person answered,
"It is correct but a more natural way to say it is:
He doesn't live in this apartment anymore."
I asked again,
It is correct but a more natural way to say it is:
He doesn't live in this apartment anymore.
He answered,
It is correct but it's probably the least natural out of the 3.
What do you think? Do you agree with his views?
