🛑 The 'No' Word: Negative Sentences

To reach A2, you must know how to say something is not true. In this text, we see a pattern using did not and does not.

The Rule: When we say 'no' about an action, we use a helper word (do/does/did) + not + the action word.

Patterns from the text:

  • Present (Now/General): He does not want \rightarrow (He refuses)
  • Past (Before): He did not say \rightarrow (He kept quiet)

💡 Simple Tip: Notice that after did not or does not, the action word stays simple.

Incorrect: He does not wants ✅ Correct: He does not want
