I have some difficulty in understanding the two point of the question you arrenged as 10th. 'She has never ever complained and has borne all her troubles with great courage.''

First : What does 'never ever' in the test sentence make sence ?
Second : Why do we have to use the word 'borne' instead of the word 'born'.Is there anything I have overlooked about that word.

Thanks in advance for your explanations.I want especially to thank Mr. Townend for assays he has written. I have been reading them with admiration.

1-- Never ever is casual English; it is an intensified form of never.

2-- Borne= carried. Born = came into existence through birth.

hi everybody, i'm a newcomer, hope to get ur help

i'd like to ask sth about this item:
'She has never ever complained and has borne all her troubles with great courage.''

quote:"2-- Borne= carried. Born = came into existence through birth."

=> as far as i know, the verb "bear" has two forms of past participle, which are "born" and "borne", and they can be used tantamountly . besides, the word bear also has the meaning of "put up with", not just "carry" or "give birth to". i have seen this word used likewise in other sentences, for eg:
i can't bear that fellow
in this case, if "borne" here means "carried", then the sentence seems somehow a little bit ambiguous..., but if we use "bear" with the meaning of "put up with", i think it may be more understandable and suitable
i wonder whether my idea is right or not, plz give more explaination
thank you very much!

.
They cannot be used 'tantamountly'-- the two past participles have different meanings. ('Past participle distinction of borne for "carried" and born for "given birth" has existed since 1775.')

The meaning 'put up with' is metaphorically derived from physically 'carry'. Since, in your sentence, 'troubles' are not physical entities, the meaning of 'has borne' there is natively interpreted as 'has put up with; has endured'.
