⚡ The 'Did Not' Pattern
In this story, we see a very important way to say No in the past.
The Rule:
To say something did not happen, use:
did not + action word (base form)
Examples from the text:
- Henry did not attack Digwa. (Not: did not attacked)
- Police did not put handcuffs on Digwa. (Not: did not putted)
Quick Guide:
did not → It is a 'magic' word that takes away the past tense from the action word.
Compare these two:
- Positive: Henry attacked. (Past form)
- Negative: Henry did not attack. (Base form)
📦 Simple Word Swaps
Look at how these words change the meaning of a sentence:
