 |

Hi,
I've got a question concerning the following sentence:
"You won't ever get bored"
Is is right or do you have to write: You won't NEVER get bored??
What the right solution? |

Never is a negative word, and a double negative (won't and never) make a positive.
You can say, if you want to use never in your sentence, "You will never get bored". |
