\tAlthough perhaps more often used in the negative to mean "never," \u4ece\u6765 (cónglái) can be used with \u90fd (d\u014du) to mean "always" or "have always (done)."<\/p>\n

\tStructure with \u90fd<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tWithout the negative adverbs \u4e0d and \u6ca1, \u4ece\u6765 takes on the meaning of "always." (Literally, \u4ece\u6765 means something like "from the beginning," although no one is really thinking that phrase when they use it.) When used in the positive, though, it is customary to put the adverb \u90fd after the \u4ece\u6765.
