You use never to say that something did not, does not, or will not happen at any time.

She never asked him to lend her any money.

I will never give up.

Be Careful!

Don't use 'do' in front of never. Don't say, for example, 'He does never write to me'. Say 'He never writes to me'.

He never complains .

He never speaks to you, does he?

Be Careful!

You don't usually use another negative word with 'never'. Don't say, for example, 'I haven't never been there' or 'They never said nothing'. Say 'I have never been there' or 'They never said anything'.

It was an experience I will never forget.

I've never seen anything like it.

Be Careful!

Similarly, don't use 'never' if the subject of a clause is a negative word such as nothing or no one. Instead use ever. You say, for example, 'Nothing will ever happen'. Don't say 'Nothing will never happen'.

Nothing ever changes.
