‘Mou’ is an adverb and does not conjugate itself, but it dictates the tense of the verb that follows (Past for ‘already’, Negative for ‘anymore’).

The ‘o’ sound is long (mou), not short (mo). Ensure you hold the vowel sound.
🧠 Memory Tips
Think of ‘Mou’ as a movement forward. It’s either ‘already past the point’ (already) or ‘going one step further’ (more/again).
