文法句型

someone says 'Say no more' as a reply

用法筆記

This is a fixed interjection used only as a direct reply in conversation. It cannot be conjugated (e.g. 'I said no more') or used in narrative past tense to mean 'stopped speaking' — that is a different, literal meaning of the same words.

常見錯誤

❌She said no more about the accident.
✅She didn't say anything else about the accident.
💡'Say no more' as an idiom is only used as a direct spoken reply to someone, not as a narrative description of stopping speech.
