adverb · A1Never
NEV-uh/ˈnevə/
Zero times: never sits like always, so I never eat fish, and with be you say she is never late. Questions use ever (Have you ever…) and answers use never (I have never…). The opposite idea is always — do not write “not never.”
Meaning
Not at any time.
Examples
- “I never drink coffee at night.”
- “He never watches TV in the morning.”
- “I have never been on a plane.”
Good to know
never + verb. Opposite: always. I have never + past participle.
