I'm not sure what you mean by "conjugates" in this context.

as in the use of the word 'not' or negatives in general when constructing a sentence in the english language. I looked up a Latin dictionary online and I think the word translates as 'nec' I think I looked up all the other words too but I am unsure about the sentence structure or if it is even correct.

I'm still confused.
You want a translation of
"You always had trouble with your conjugates".
But I don't know what "conjugates" means. I understand it as a verb, but you
seem to be using it as a noun.

Substituting "things" for "conjugates", I'd say:
Cum rebus semper difficultatem habuis.

Now if you can give me another word for "conjugates", we can substitute its
Latin translation for "rebus".

I haven't a clue about
"ele simper confusim confido nec molestus ".

Thank you very much! Smile I think this is what I am referring to. I am using 'conjugates' as a noun to describe the use of negatives in a statement. Like: "I am 'not' going to the party", "She 'never' did understand", or "'Nothing' will come of doing that"

conj, and not : nec

The format of the webpage suggests that 'nec' is what I want so I will substitute that in what you wrote. Thank you again. Smile

You do realize that conj, and not means that, when
used as a conjunction, the word "nec" means "and not".
For example:
Non scio nec curo.
I do not know and I do not care.
