Continuous writing "not" with adverbs



1. The most simple and relevant to any part of speech (not only for adverbs) rule: "not" written together with the word, which without the "not" is not used. For example: inevitably, ridiculous, nedoumevala, certainly (in the Russian language there are no words "inevitably", "lepo, "domewood", "Premeno").

Nedoumevala the boy looked at his father.

2. If the adverb "not" can be replaced by a synonymous word without the "not" - we are required to write an original word together. For example: it is easy (=easy, then write one word), not quick (= slow, so write together).

3. "Not" is written together with negative adverbs: no, nowhere, nowhere, nothing etc.

Sorry, but I can't pay you.

Separate writing "not" with adverbs



1. As an adjective, adverb written separately with the particle "not", if the proposal includes or implies opposition to the unions "and", "but". For example: not rich, but poor; not quickly, but slowly.
Mark and Lucy did not live lavishly, but rather modestly (obvious contrasting).
It seemed to me that he is not inadvertently started this conversation (the juxtaposition of this example hidden: the author has in mind that the conversation was not instituted by chance, but on purpose).
It is necessary to note that the unions "and", "but", "Yes" does not always indicate opposition to the proposal. For example: to speak softly but clearly (adverb "softly" and "simple" are not antonyms, they are not opposed to each other in meaning, so we write "do not" as one word)

2. "Not" is written separately with the adverb in the following combinations: not, not, not, not.

5. It is written separately and "not" adverbs, which are composed of a hyphen: as brothers, the old, etc.

6. Finally, the particle "not" is written separately from the noun adverbs (derived from noun/adjective).
