No longer: ne... plus
To say that you "no longer" do something or do not do it "anymore", use ne... plus. It works exactly like the basic negative ne... pas: the two words simply wrap around the conjugated verb. If the verb starts with a vowel, ne becomes n'.
| I no longer have this bad habit. | Je n'ai plus cette mauvaise habitude. |
| I no longer eat fatty food, it is a bad habit. | Je ne mange plus gras, c'est une mauvaise habitude. |
| You do not go to bed late anymore. | Vous ne vous couchez plus tard. |
Making resolutions
When talking about breaking bad habits or making a resolution (une résolution), you can also use the verb arrêter followed by de to say you are stopping an action.
| It is my resolution: I am quitting smoking. | C'est ma résolution : j'arrête de fumer. |
| We are quitting smoking to improve our health. | Nous arrêtons de fumer pour améliorer notre santé. |
"No more" of something
Just like with ne... pas, when you use ne... plus to say you are no longer consuming or buying a certain noun, indefinite articles (un, une, des) and partitive articles (du, de la) change to de. If the noun starts with a vowel sound, it becomes d'.
| She does not buy cigarettes anymore. | Elle n'achète plus de cigarettes. |
| We have a good resolution: we do not buy candies anymore. | Nous avons une bonne résolution : nous n'achetons plus de bonbons. |
| I no longer spend money, I no longer have stress! | Je ne dépense plus d'argent, je n'ai plus de stress ! |
