How to use 不 and 没 in sentences? Some people will be confused while using 不 and 没 in the sentence, because they all refer to negative meaning. But sometimes they can’t be exchanged in the sentence. Now we are going to explain the difference between 不 and 没. 1.If in front of a verb, “不” indicates subjective attitude, negating an action which is going to happen or is happening. The action can be frequent, habitual or regular. “不” is mostly used in present tense and future tense. “没” indicates an action which has happened or had been done. It is usually used in past tense or present tense. Eg. 明天你们去吧,我不去。 Tomorrow you go, I’ll not go. 昨天我生病了,没去上班。 Yesterday I was ill, I didn’t go to work. 2.If in front of an adjective, “不” negates some character or some status of a thing. “没” negates the change of a thing in character and status. Eg. 这条裙子便宜,但不漂亮。 This dress is cheap, but not nice. 牛肉没熟,再煮煮。 Beef is not ripe yet, need to cook more.
