Used in conditionals: You can use as long as or so long as to say that one thing is true only if another thing is true. You use a simple form after as long as and so long as. e.g: We were all right as long as we kept quiet. The president need not resign so long as the elections are supervised. 2. Duration: You also use as long as to say that something lasts for a long period of time, or for as much time as possible. I love football and I want to keep playing as long as I can. Be careful! Don’t use “as long as” when you are talking about distances. Don’t say e.g: I followed him as long as the bridge. You say “I followed him as far as the bridge”.

• Well, then we won’t need you anymore: berarti kita takakan membutuhkan mu (Dalam bahasa Indonesia, again dan anymore memiliki makna yag sama yaitu ‘lagi’.

Again digunakan untuk menejelaskan berulangnya suatu peristiwa yang terjadi sehingga dinyatakan dengan kata ‘lagi’, misal seorang siswa yang datag terlambat, menjatuhkan sebuah barang, jatuh cinta, atau mengambil uang di Bank. Contoh : Aldo I hear that you come late again this morning. Anymore digunakan untuk menjelaskan berlaku tidaknya suatu fakta, misal bekerja di suatu tempat, menempuh pendidikan, single atau sudah menika, tinggal di sebuah kota tertentu atau mencintai seseorang (bukan jatuh cinta). Contoh :Although I still care with you, I do not love you anymore

•  Oh, don’t feel foolish : jangan merasa bodoh (memakai “don’t” karena subjeknya you “tersirat”)
