minus-squareuntorquer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·12 days agoThey both have a meaning of “presently” with reference to a change that occured in the past. ‘Now’ is used when something presently is the case (positive) and ‘anymore’ is used when something presently is no longer the case (negative). Anymore is in the present just as much as now is. They both require present tense verbs even though they tell you something of the past.
