The 'NOT' Pattern
When we want to say something is wrong or missing, we use do not or does not.
Look at these examples from the story:
- The team did not do well. (Past)
- The SFA does not have enough money. (Present)
The Simple Rule:
- Use does not for one person or one thing (SFA does not).
- Use do not for many people (They do not).
Word Power: 'Little' vs 'Lot'
In English, we describe amounts simply:
A lot of (money) Little (money)
Example: Famous coaches earn a lot of money, but the SFA has little money.
