How do you use neverthemore?

"Nevermore" is not a verb, so you can't "use" it in the way you might use a word like "run" or "eat". It's an adverb that means "no more" or "never again".

Here's how you can use "nevermore" in a sentence:

* As a response: This is the most common usage, famously seen in Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven." The raven's only response to the speaker's questions is "Nevermore."

* In a poetic or dramatic context: To emphasize a feeling of finality or hopelessness. For example: "After the devastating loss, hope seemed to have flown away, nevermore to return."

* To express strong negation: "I will nevermore speak ill of him."

Here are some examples of using "nevermore" in a sentence:

* "The bell tolled once, then nevermore."

* "She vowed nevermore to trust him."

* "In the depths of despair, he cried out, 'Nevermore!'"

Remember, "nevermore" is a very specific and powerful word. Use it sparingly to create a strong impact in your writing or speech.
