One of the many uses of 并 is to add emphasis to a sentence that uses 不 or 没.

Structure

You can take pretty much any sentence with a negated verb,and give it a little extra kick with 并. Just put it before the 不 or 没. Note that when used with 不, you can negate an adjective as well.

Subject + 并 + 不 + Verb/Adjective

Subject + 并 + 没(有)+ Verb

Examples

  • 在 中国 创业 不 容易,有 很 多 的 挑战。
  • 我 在 大学 读 金融 专业,但是 当 金融 分析 人员 不是 我 的 梦想。
  • 你 为什么 问 昨天 在 酒吧 里 发生 什么,昨天 晚上 我 并 没有 出去。
  • 我 只 是 一 个 普通 的 艺术家,我 所 做 的 没有 什么 特别。
