Vocabulary Learning
❌ Saying 'NO' in the Past
In the text, we see a pattern: did not + action.
When we talk about things that happened before, we use did not (or didn't) to make a sentence negative.
Look at these examples from the story:
- He did not play well.
- He did not throw the ball far.
The Golden Rule: When you use "did not," the action word stays in its simplest form.
- Correct: He did not play
- Wrong: He did not played
