I have seen two forms to do the negation...
For example when you say:
I don't have money and I have no money I have seen is the same (A negation form)
But I have a doubt with this sentences
for example..
I never see you
I ever not see you
Don't show fear
Show no fear
There wasn't anybody
There was nobody
Could someone explain me it please?
This is the first time I've looked at this, so I'm no expert.
The first example is simply wrong so discount it for now.
Here is an article about negation in grammar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_and_negative
The other two examples either speak negatively or positively: "there was/there was not", "show/do not show". But they both mean essentially the same things until you get down to very small differences.
This is interesting, come back if you still need some help with it and I'll answer you when I have a moment.
The second example:
Don't show fear - don't let people see that you're scared
Show no fear - look very brave
Third:
There *was not* anybody (who could help) - negative - was not
There *was* nobody (who could help) - positive - was
Like I say there are finer levels of meaning, but for now this is all you need to grasp, then go deeper later on.
Keep trying, good luck.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Almost all your examples are natural English (only "I ever not see you" is wrong).
You've probably noticed "not" goes with the auxiliary verb and "no" goes with the noun.
Was there something else that you wanted explained to you?
