Grammar usage notes
Because this is grammar from classical Japanese, it is used mainly in writing.
although this could be said to be more classical grammar, it is not as old as ぬ.
where as ずに is mainly used in writing it can be used in spoken, where as ぬ is almost entirely only used within writing.
where as ずに is mainly used in writing it can be used in spoken, where as ぬ is almost entirely only used within writing.
A variant of this grammar is to use it with adjective.
"Event B (adjective) happens/exists without event A"

My sister is beautiful without putting make-up.
the も particle, ～さえ, ～でも, and the likes could be used as an emphasis.

...is beautiful even without putting make-up.

Hey everybody:-) quick question - I saw in one of the examples for 代わる that this form is used without the に - so, ...いつもと代わらず健康... is this a mistake, a different grammar or maybe an exception? Thank you:-)
