Negate these sentences

I have some doubts about these sentences:

1- Negate

*) Ahmed does his homework requraly.

my problem is with the word requraly.

2-Negate keeping the same meaning:

*) Ahmed has always been honest for every one he knows

thanks in advance!

Hi Peace4ever

requraly? Do you mean regularly?

Ahmed does his homework regularly-----Ahmed never does his homework.

OR Ahmed doesn �t do his homework regularly.

Ahmed has always been honest to everyone he knows.

Ahmed has never been dishonest to anyone he knows.

Are you a student? If you were a teacher, I think you �d already know these things

These two sentences have the same meaning:

Ahmed has always been honest to everyone he knows.

Ahmed has never been dishonest to anyone he knows. (double negative)

The negative would be:

Ahmed has never been honest to anyone he knows.
