💡 The Power of 'DID' and 'DID NOT'

To talk about the past, we use a simple helper word: did.

The Pattern:

  • Positive: They did yoga. (Action happened)
  • Negative: Some people did not like the event. (Action did not happen)

Why this helps you reach A2: In A2 English, you must stop using only the present. Using "did not" is the easiest way to say "no" to something in the past without needing complex verb changes.

Quick Map:

  • did \rightarrow
  • did not \rightarrow
