The Power of 'DID NOT'
In this story, we see a pattern that helps you talk about things that failed to happen in the past.
The Rule: To say 'no' about the past, we use: did not + action word (base form).
- Example 1: "He did not call the police." (He had the chance, but he chose not to.)
- Example 2: "Ben Stokes did not see the fight." (He was there, but his eyes missed it.)
- Example 3: "They did not play in the next big match." (They were banned.)
Watch Out! When you use "did not," the action word stays simple.
❌ He did not called (Wrong) ✅ He did not call (Right)
