Boya Chinese: lesson 25 sentences

To negate you3, you always use mei2(you3). Unless the number is the focus,otherwise you say: mei2(you3)+noun, without the number +measure word. e.g.:

A: ni3 you3 liang3ge nao4zhong1 ma?你有两个闹钟吗？

B:wo3 mei2you3 liang3ge nao4zhong1, wo3 zhi3you3 yi2ge nao4zhong1.我没有两个闹钟，我只有一个闹钟。

another example:

A:ni3 you3 yi4ping2shui3 ma?你有一瓶水吗？

B:wo3 mei2you3 yi4ping2shui3, wo3 zhi3you3 ban4ping2shui3.我没有一瓶水，我只有半瓶水。

Ni3 mei43 tian1 dou1 zai4 hu2 bian1 pao3 bu4 ma?
Do you run around the lake everyday?
When you use mei3, usually you use dou1（not in every case),which means every/each and implies that there is no exception. You can see lesson 12 and ebook Page 99 for further expanlation. It is correct to say mei3 without dou1. But I would suggest you to say so in this sentence.
Wo3 xu1 yao4 duan4lian4. Wo3 de shen1ti4cai2 bu42 hen3 tai4 bang4.我需要锻炼。我的身材不太棒。

not very excellent:bu2shi4 hen3bang4; or bu2tai4bang4.
