I've never eaten it in a month.

Question

Hi, I'd like to learn the word "never".I've never eaten it.I've never eaten it in a month.I think the first sentence is correct. I think it means "I don't have the experience in my life."I'd like to know the second one is also correct. I'd like to say that I ate it 30 days ago but since then I haven't eaten it. In this case, can you use the word "never"?Thank you.Maki

No.

Never is the opposite of always. It means at no time. Always means "every time."
Here are some examples:

I always order the chicken sandwich at McDonald's.
I have never ordered the chicken sandwich at McDonald's. But there is always a first time for everything.

I promised my mother that I would never use swear words. I learned never to say never.

anonymousI've never eaten it in a month.

The correct versions:

I did not eat it last month.
The last time I ate it was more than a month ago.

I've not eaten it for a month.

I've never eaten it in a month.
