1、all 的否定式:not all(或:allnot)表示并不是都、不是所有些都比如:
Not all men can be masters.(= All men cannot be masters.)并不是每人都能當頭頭。
Not all bamboo grows tall.并不是所有些竹子都會長得非常高。
2、both 的否定式:notboth (或:both not) 并不是兩個都 比如:
I dont want both the books.我不是兩本書都要。
Both (the) windows are not open.兩扇窗子并不都開著。
3、every的否定式:不是每都 比如:
Not every book is educative.(或:Every book is not educative.) 不是每本書都有教育意義的。

This flower is not seen everywhere.這花并非隨處可見的。
4、always的否定式:并不是一直(并不是一直) 比如:
He is not always so sad.他并非一直都如此悲傷。
5、entirely1,altogether,completely2 和quite 的否定式:不完全,并不是完全 比如:

假如將and 換成or,not 對其后面的兩部分就全盤否定了。
He did not speak clearly or correctly.他講的既不了解也不正確。
如要對上述的all,both,every,always,與entirely,altogether,completely,quite 和 all the time 等詞作完全否定,那就分別要用與之相對應的全否定詞,如no,none,neither,no one,never,not (never) at all 等。比如:

Both are good.Neither is good.
Everybody likes it.Nobody likes it.
