Wouldn't ever...
" I wouldn't ever adopt a child"
Is it like a negative sentence, like NEVER...?

Segundo uma pesquisa que fiz e com a qual concordo:
Both phrases are grammatically correct and carry the same emotional connotation.
The only slight variation between the two is the contraction used in the phrase "I wouldn't ever" which makes it a little less formal than "I would never".
When writing formally, it is considered unsophisticated to use contractions (i.e. wouldn't instead of would not). Therefore, the phrase "I would never" is favorable in that instance.
But if formality doesn't matter, then both are correct. It simply comes down to preference.

A frase está na negativa = Wouldn't = Would not, então você não pode usar o NEVER pois estaria usando duas negações, daí o uso do EVER.
Para o usar o never a frase deveria ter somente o Would, ou seja, I would never ...
No fim das contas elas tem o mesmo significado. São apenas construções diferentes.

Are you sure you're not a native speaker of English?? eheh, thanks for the compliment but as I said, I did some research and, even though those aren't my words, I agree with them. I'm not an English native speaker but I'm working very hard to look like one.  |
