Structure
To express that something will never be done again, or never happen again, you can use this structure:
Subject + 再也不 + Verb + Object + 了
Notice that 了 is used - in this case it's sentence 了. This is because it is now the case that the action will not be done.
Examples
- 昨天 晚上 太 丢脸 了，我 再也不 喝 酒 了。
- 他 再也不 说谎 了。
- 你 再也不 要 抽烟 了。
