In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Jack answers your grammar questions in a Jack Chat episode. He talks about the differences between any time and anytime, any more and anymore, and any way, anyways, and anyway. Anytime vs. Any time Hello! In this English lesson, we will be discussing the difference between "any time" and "anytime." Firstly, let's start with "any time." This phrase is commonly used to refer to a specific point in time or a specific time period. For example, "You can call me any time after 3 pm" or "I can meet you at the restaurant any time next week." In both of these examples, "any time" is referring to a particular time or time period. On the other hand, "anytime" is used to describe something that can happen at any time, without any specific time being specified. For instance, "Feel free to drop by anytime" or "I'm always available to chat anytime you need me." In these examples, "anytime" means "whenever it is convenient for you" and does not refer to a specific time. To summarize, "any time" is used to refer to a specific time or time period, while "anytime" is used to describe something that can happen at any time. It's important to note that "any time" is always written as two separate words, whereas "anytime" can be written as one word or two, depending on the style guide being followed. In American English, it is more common to write it as one word, while in British English, it is often written as two words. I hope this lesson has helped clarify the difference between "any time" and "anytime." Remember to pay attention to the context and usage to determine which one is appropriate to use in a given situation.    anytime part of speech "Anytime" is an adverb. It is used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to indicate that something can happen at any time or without a specific time being specified. For example, "You can call me anytime," where "anytime" modifies the verb "call."    any time part of speech "Any time" is a noun phrase. It consists of the indefinite article "any" and the noun "time." It can be used as the subject or object of a sentence. For example, "Any time is a good time to visit my grandma" or "I can meet you at any time that works for you." Sure, I'd be happy to explain the difference between "any more" and "anymore." "Any more" and "anymore" can be confusing because they look similar and have similar meanings. However, there is a slight difference in how they are used in a sentence. "Any more" refers to an amount or quantity of something. It is often used in negative sentences or questions to indicate that there is no additional amount of something. For example, "I don't have any more money to spend" or "Do you have any more questions for me?" In these sentences, "any more" means "additional" or "extra." "Anymore," on the other hand, is used to indicate a change in a situation or state over time. It is often used in negative sentences to indicate that something that was previously true is no longer true. For example, "I used to enjoy watching horror movies, but I don't anymore" or "She used to live in New York, but she doesn't anymore." In these sentences, "anymore" means "any longer" or "not anymore." To summarize, "any more" refers to an amount or quantity of something, while "anymore" indicates a change in a situation or state over time. It's important to note that "anymore" is more commonly used in American English, while "any more" is more commonly used in British English. Additionally, "anymore" is always spelled as one word, while "any more" is two separate words. I hope this lesson has helped clarify the difference between "any more" and "anymore." Remember to pay attention to the context and usage to determine which one is appropriate to use in a given situation. "Anymore" is an adverb. It is used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to indicate that a situation or state that was previously true is no longer true. For example, "I used
