I suggest you re-read your lesson first, it's pretty obvious.
The three sentences contain the same word, so look at correct examples of sentences using this word, and you'll quickly see what is missing. In addition, I suppose you've mistyped the first sentence, as 和 doesn't mean "to drink". (not giving the answer, I believe it's enough of a hint already, and you'll benefit more from finding by yourself.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Everything is pretty obvious when you understand it. Our teacher explained conglai to us today but I'm sorry to say I didn't understand much of it as she speaks very fast. I have checked out a few other senteces and tried to figure it out but I can't. I'm probably stupid but I have tried.
If the same thing is wrong in all the senteces then I could probably figure it out if someone helped me with one of them or just explained what I'm not understanding about conglai. Btw yes there was a typo it should have been 喝。 Edited by eoinda on 19 September 2012 at 1:44pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, my feeling is that the three sentences could be corrected by adding 都没有 after the 从来. Or 都不 (but 都没有 seems more natural to me), but 从来 cannot be used alone and is "always" negative.
I hear that it's now possible to hear it in an affirmative sentence (从来都) but that your teacher is very likely to consider it incorrect. What does your course say? I've you've studied 从来, you've probably noticed that all the sentences are negative. You can find examples here: http://www.jukuu.com/search.php?q=%E4%BB%8E%E6%9D%A5 They can be difficult, just to show that after the 从来 you'll always find a (都)不/没. Hope it helps... 1 person has voted this message useful |
