Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The Power of 'DID NOT'
In this story, we see a very important pattern for A2 learners: how to say someone did not do something in the past.
The Pattern:
Person + did not + Action word (base form)
From the text:
- "The man did not have a ticket."
- "The worker's family... say he does not tell the truth."
Why this matters: Beginners often try to change the action word (like saying did not had), but that is wrong. Once you use did not, the action word stays in its simplest form.
Quick Look: Past vs. Present
- Past (It happened): He did not have (He didn't have it then).
- Present (Right now): He does not tell (He is lying now).
Key Vocabulary for A2:
- Judge The person who decides who is right.
- Court The place where the judge works.
- Truth The real facts.
