The 'Did Not' Pattern
In this story, we see a very important way to say things did not happen in the past.
The Rule:
To make a negative sentence in the past, use:
did not + action word (base form)
Examples from the text:
- They did not fight back. (They stayed calm)
- They did not play. (They stayed home)
- Totoa Auvaa did not get a punishment. (He is free)
Common Mistake: ❌ He did not fought. ✅ He did not fight.
Quick Guide:
When you use did not, the action word returns to its simplest form. It doesn't need an '-ed' ending.
