+
+</TOC>
+
+Although it can also work in the positive, 从来 (cónglái) is usually used when you want to express that you **\*never** do something* (as a habit, or as a rule), or that you *have **never** done something\* (it's not a part of your life experience). In either usage, 从来 (cónglái) may be shortened to just 从 (cóng) in casual speech.
+
+## "To Never Do" with 从来 (cónglái) + 不 (bù)
+
+When you follow 从来 (cónglái) with 不 (bù), you are expressing that you **\*never** do something\* (as a habit, or as a rule). It's often used as a way to refuse something, as in "I never drink."
+
+### Structure
+
+The structure is:
+
+Subj. + 从来 + 不 + [Verb Phrase]
+
+Keep in mind that 从来 (cónglái) may be shortened to just 从 (cóng) in casual speech.
+
+### Examples
+
+- 她 _从来 不_ 喝酒。
+  <!-- - Tā _cónglái bù_ hējiǔ. -->
+  - She never drinks.
+- 我 女朋友 _从 不_ 给 我 打 电话。
+  <!-- - 来 has been omitted here. -->
+  <!-- - Wǒ nǚpéngyou _cóng bù_ gěi wǒ dǎ diànhuà. -->
+  - My girlfriend never calls me.
+- 这 个 人 很 奇怪，他 _从来 不_ 笑。
+  <!-- - Zhège rén hěn qíguài, tā _cónglái bù_ xiào. -->
+  - This person is very strange. He never laughs.
+- 你 父母 _从来 不_ 打 你 吗？
+  <!-- - "hit" can mean "spank" -->
+  <!-- - Nǐ fùmǔ _cónglái bù_ dǎ nǐ ma? -->
+  - Your parents never hit you?
+- 他 _从 不_ 关心 别人。
+  <!-- - 来 has been omitted here. -->
+  <!-- - Tā _cóng bù_ guānxīn biérén. -->
+  - He never cares about other people.
+
+## "To Have Never Done" with 从来 (cónglái) + 没有 (méiyǒu)
+
+Use 从来 (cónglái) with 没 (méi) or 没有 (méiyǒu) (and 过 (guo) after the verb) to indicate that you _have **never** done something_ (it's not a part of your life experience). You're talking about the past now, because you're talking about what you haven't done before, so 没有 (méiyǒu) is appropriate. 过 (guo) also makes sense, because you're making a statement about your life experience.
+
+### Structure
+
+The structure is:
+
+Subj. + 从来 + 没(有) + Verb + 过
+
+Again, 从来 (cónglái) may be shortened to just 从 (cóng) in casual speech. Note that you can have an object or other information after the verb, but the 过 (guo) needs to come immediately after the verb.
+
+### Examples
+
+- 你 _从来 没有_ 想 _过_ 这 个 问题 吗？
+  <!-- - Nǐ _cónglái méiyǒu_ xiǎng _guo_ zhège wèntí ma?  -->
+  - Have you never thought about this question?
+- 她 _从来 没_ 见 _过_ 她 妈妈。
+  <!-- - Tā _cónglái méi_ jiàn _guo_ tā māma. -->
+  - She has never met her mother.
+- 我 _从没_ 学 _过_ 这 个 词。
+  - 来 has been omitted here.
+  <!-- - Wǒ _cóngméi_ xué _guo_ zhège cí. -->
+  - I have never before studied this word.
+- 你们 _从来 没有_ 听说 _过_ 这 个 地方 吗？
+  <!-- - Nǐmen _cónglái méiyǒu_ tīngshuō _guo_ zhège dìfang ma?  -->
+  - Have you never heard about this place before?
+- 很 多 中国人 _从来 没_ 出 _过_ 国。
+  <!-- - Hěn duō Zhōngguó rén _cónglái méi_ chū _guo_ guó. -->
+  - A lot of Chinese people have never been abroad.

+</TOC>
+
+We have a few ways to say "[always](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Always)" in Chinese, and one of them is to use the word 老是 (lǎoshì). 老是 is usually used in the context of a complaint, like how your sister is "always" hogging the bathroom.
+
+## Structure
+
+老是 is an adverb, usually translated into English as "always." It expresses that an action or a condition constantly repeats or continues and can be interchanged with [the word 总是](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%22Always%22_with_%22zongshi%22). However, 老是 also has an unsatisfied or frustrated tone.
+
+老 (是) + Predicate
+
+You can also use 老 instead of 老是. The [predicate](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Predicate) part of the pattern can be a [verb](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Verb) or an adjective.
+
+When 老是 is used together with an [adjective](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Adjective), 老是 is usually followed by an [adverb](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Adverb) such as 不, 很, 非常, 这么, 那 etc.
