Jim Posted August 6, 2019 at 09:50 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 at 09:50 AM Compound construction meaning "never" that works a bit like the same with 从来 rather than the 一直没有 in your example: https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_"never"_with_"conglai" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted August 6, 2019 at 10:33 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 at 10:33 AM 过 does not have a meaning, but it has a function. It marks the sentence/clause as explaining a past experience (or the lack thereof). 一直没有离开过家的她 she, who had never been away from home before, 一直没有离开家的她 she, who had never left home, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
