How it's used
Use this to express a firm refusal or a negative prediction about the future. It functions as the standard way to negate the auxiliary verb 會, which indicates future tense or probability. Unlike Mandarin, where you might use different structures for inability versus unwillingness, this covers both meanings depending on the context.
Examples
I will not go to work tomorrow.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 唔係, which negates identity or existence. Remember that 唔會 relates to future actions or possibilities, while 唔係 is for stating that something is not the case.
