### In the lessons

People use it to speak about a death gently and kindly, especially in front of children or grieving people, in speeches and at work; companies also use it to say someone has left or been sacked. Polite register, all English-speaking countries.

### Examples

- Sadly, Grandpa is no longer with us.

### Note

Usually it means death, so ask carefully before saying «Where did he go?». At work it can just mean someone left. Plain words: dead, died, left. The verb stays in the present: «he is no longer with us».
