does anyone know the diffrent with not ever and not never
'not never' is a double negative which cancel each other out and is very bad English. It means that the word 'never' cannot be applied in this conext. 'not ever' = never
thank you mr Leigh,i will remember that.

In English you can't say 'not ever' or 'not never'
You could say 'ever' or 'never'.
EVER:
Usually means 'at any time'. For example: Have you ever been to London?
Can mean 'at all times'. For example: Earthquakes are an ever present risk in Japan.
Can be used with 'since'. For example: He has been working hard ever since he got the promotion.
NEVER:
Means 'not ever', 'at no time'. For example: I have never been to Australia.
Hope that helps, Eliza!
thank you for let me know :)
Я не знаю английского. И мне будет трудно спорить с Leigh. Но, я не пойму, почему он пишет, что в английском не используется "not ever". А как тогда понимать это:
Baby can you listen to me?
I wrote this to you
This time I'll be true
You know I can't live without you here
She's not in my world, not ever again
Will I be the one that's not your friend
