⚡ The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how we describe things happening right now in the story:
- Fans use phones.
- Fans shout.
- This happens.
The Simple Rule: To talk about a general fact or a habit, just use the base word.
Watch out! When we talk about one person (The boss, Novak), we add an -s: → The boss says → Djokovic says
🚫 Saying 'No'
To stop something from happening in English, we use do not (or does not).
- The club does not show football. (One club = does not)

Quick Tip:
Does not is for one person/thing. Do not is for many.
