Never
1.never hope，never remember，never intend，never expect，never plan等表达方式该避免，如不该说：
- I never hope to see him again.（该改作I hope never to see him again或I do not hope ever to see him again。）
- I never remember having seen him before.（该改作I do not remember ever having seen him before。）
- I never intend to see him again.（该改作I intend never to see him again或I do not intend ever to see him again。）
- I never expect to see him again.（该改作I expect never to see him again或I do not expect ever to see him again。）
- I never plan to see him again.（该改作I plan never to see him again或I do not plan ever to see him again。）
2.注意下面两句里都用never having...，不用having never...。用having never...也有，但很少见：
- Never having seen him before, I did not know who he was.
- I spoke to him of never having seen her before.
- He claims never to have seen her before也比He claims to have never seen her before正常。
3.注意下面三句里用shall I，have I和has he，不用I shall，I have和he has。例如：
- Never shall I see him again.
- Never in my life have I heard of such a thing.
- Never has he seen her before.
4.seldom or never和seldom if ever意思相同，两种表达方式不可混用，参见ever 11
5.never so现在远不及ever so普通，如Please write me a letter, let it be (n)ever so short里用ever so，最好不用never so。
6.下面两句意思相同，但第二句比第一句语气重（has重读）：
- He has never failed me in my need.
- He never has failed me in my need.
