💡 THE 'NEGATIVE' PATTERN

To reach A2, you must know how to say "No" or "Not" in a sentence. Look at how the text describes failure:

  • Did not have time \rightarrow No time.
  • Did not win \rightarrow No victory.
  • Do not play enough \rightarrow Not enough action.
  • Did not give papers \rightarrow No documents.

The Simple Rule: To make a sentence negative in the past, use: did not + action word.

Examples from the text:

  • "The team did not win any games."
  • "The USA did not give papers."

Quick Tip: Notice that we say "did not win" (not "did not won"). Keep the action word simple!
