💡 The 'Do Not' Pattern
In this story, we see a simple way to say 'No' using do not. This is the most important tool for A2 beginners to describe dislikes or facts.
How it works:
Subject + do not + Action
Examples from the text:
- They do not like... (Feeling/Opinion)
- The museum does not show... (Fact/Action)
🛠️ Quick Rule: Do vs. Does
When we talk about one person or one thing (The Museum/He/She), we change do to does.
- Many people do not
- One museum does not
