Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'No' Trick (Negative Sentences)
In this story, we see how to say someone did not do something. This is a key step to move from A1 to A2.
The Pattern:
Person + did not + Action (Simple Form)
Examples from the text:
- They did not take him to school. (Wrong: They did not took)
- They did not take him to the doctor. (Wrong: They didn't took)
Quick Rule: When you use did not, the action verb stays in its base form. You don't need to change the verb to the past because "did" already tells us it happened before.
