Never - in Chinese sentences

  他从不迟到。

Tā cóng bù chídào.

He never arrives late.




In Mandarin Chinese, the phrase "从不" (cóng bù) plays a crucial role in sentence construction, especially when expressing the concept of "never" or conveying the idea of not doing something habitually. This adverb is pivotal in creating sentences that communicate a consistent absence of an action or behavior. By using "从不," speakers can articulate a strong and definite negation, indicating that a particular action or event does not occur at all or has never occurred in the past. This expression is particularly useful in a variety of contexts, whether discussing personal habits, general observations, or making emphatic statements about one's preferences or actions. 

In the following examples, "从不" is used to construct sentences that vividly illustrate how this phrase can be incorporated into everyday communication, offering a straightforward yet powerful way to articulate the idea of "never" in Mandarin Chinese.
