But I would like to know why "never a better time" = "the best time".
[Maybe it is difficult to explain though :( ] |
The adverb
never negates the state of the verb
been.
never been ~ not be, means, doesn't exist.
has never been means, hasn't existed before, that is until now, which makes it the only time and so the best time.
:D
Correction :D
There
has never
been a better time. (Present Perfect)
Note, There
is been are not compatible. :wink:
All the best, :D
