HSK 3 Adverbs
从来 + 不/没
Never with 从来
Structure 从来 + 不 / 没(有) + Verb
从来 (cónglái) refers to "ever since up to now" and almost always pairs with negation: 从来不 ("never, as a rule") or 从来没(有) ("never up to now, not once"). 我从来不吸烟 = "I never smoke"; 他从来没去过中国 = "he’s never been to China". The 不/没 split is the usual one: habit vs. experience.
Examples
- 我从来不吸烟。
I never smoke.
- 他从来没去过中国。
He’s never been to China.
- 我从来不喝酒。
I never drink.
Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
