⚡ The 'Not' Power
In English, when we want to say something is wrong or didn't happen, we use did not (or didn't).
Look at these examples from the text:
- He did not move well.
- The referee did not stop the hits.
- The referee did not see this.
The Rule:
Did not + Action Word (Base form)
Compare it:
- Positive: He moved. Negative: He did not move.
- Positive: He saw. Negative: He did not see.
Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "No," you can now explain why something failed or what went wrong in a story.
