Dear Teacher,
I don't know which is correct"left or remained"
"We ate all the bananas. There aren't any remained"
Is it correct if I use"remained".And How different is it ?
Please help me.

If you want to use the word remained say:

We ate all the bananas; none remained.

Otherwise say:

We ate all the bananas; none were left.

No difference in meaning.
