</TOC>
Sometimes you may do something or experience something that you _never_ ever want to do again. How do we express that in Chinese? One of the ways is to use this quirky combination of three little words: 再也不 (zài yě bù)!
## Using 再也 with 不
### Structure
To express that something will _never_ be done again, or never happen again, you can use this structure:
Subj. + 再也 + 不 (+ Auxiliary Verb) + Verb Phrase + 了
Notice that 了 is used. In this case it's ["change of state 了"](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Change_of_state_with_%22le%22). This is because _it is now the case that_ the action will not be done again. It indicates some kind of determination or decision.
### Examples
- 我 _再也不_ 想 看到 你 了 ！
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ xiǎng kàndào nǐ le! -->
- I never want to see you again!
- 我 _再也不_ 想 跟 你 说话 了 。
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ xiǎng gēn nǐ shuōhuà le. -->
- I don't want to talk with you ever again.
- 我们 _再也不_ 会 相信 你 了 ！
<!-- - Wǒmen _zài yě bù_ huì xiāngxìn tā le! -->
- We're not going to believe you ever again!
- 医生 说 她 _再也不_ 能 跳舞 了 。
<!-- - Yīshēng shuō tā _zài yě bù_ néng tiàowǔ le. -->
- The doctor said she will never be able to dance again.
- 我 _再也不_ 要 离开 你 了 。
<!-- - Wǒ _zài yě bù_ yào líkāi nǐ le. -->
- I'm not going to leave you ever again.
## Using 再也 with 没
### Structure
Subj. + 再也 + 没 + Verb + 过 + Obj.
Notice that 过 is used. This pattern expresses that during a certain period of time in the _past_, or _from_ a certain point in the past up _until now_, something _hasn't been done_ again.
### Examples
- 从 那 以后 ，我 _再也没_ 去 过 酒吧 。
<!-- - Cóng nà yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ qù guo jiǔbā. -->
- Since then, I've never been to a bar again.
- 出国 以后 ，我 _再也没_ 吃 过 地道 的 中国 菜 。
<!-- - Chūguó yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ chī guo dìdao de Zhōngguó cài. -->
- Since leaving my country, I've never eaten any authentic Chinese food.
- 分手 以后 ，他们 _再也没_ 见 过 。
<!-- - Fēnshǒu yǐhòu, tāmen _zài yě méi_ jiàn guo. -->
- They haven't seen each other ever since they broke up.
- 毕业 以后，她 _再也没_ 花 过 父母 的 钱 。
<!-- - Bìyè yǐhòu, tā _zài yě méi_ huā guo fùmǔ de qián. -->
- She has never spent her parents' money since she graduated.
- 考 完 试 以后，我 _再也没_ 碰 过 那些 书 。
<!-- - Kǎo wán shì yǐhòu, wǒ _zài yě méi_ pèng guo nàxiē shū. -->
- Since finishing exams I haven't touched those books again.

并 (bìng) can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs should be of equal importance.
## Structure
The verb phrases in the pattern below are often two-syllable verbs, and usually somewhat formal.
In some cases, the two verb phrases on either side of 并 are of equal stress or importance. When 并 means "moreover," however, it can be replaced with [并且](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22moreover%22_with_%22bingqie%22).

</TOC>
One of the many uses of [并](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E5%B9%B6) (bìng) is to add emphasis to a negative sentence that uses [不](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E4%B8%8D) or [没](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E6%B2%A1). Because you're emphasizing a negation, 并 is often used when expressing disagreement or pointing out a flaw in someone's argument. While the word 并 is not inherently combative, it can certainly be used that way.
## Structure
You can take pretty much any sentence with a negated verb and give it a little extra kick with 并. Just put it before the 不 or 没. Note that when used with 不, you can negate an adjective as well.
Subj. + 并 + 不 + Verb / Adj.
Subj. + 并 + 没 (有) + Verb
