🛑 The 'No' Power (Negatives)

In English, when we want to say something is NOT true, we use do not or cannot.

Look at these patterns from the story:

  • Cannot = No ability \rightarrow "He cannot play football now."
  • Will not = No future action \rightarrow "He will not play again until 2027."
  • Do not = No desire/general fact \rightarrow "They do not want to buy new players."

Quick Tip: If you see do not, it is usually about a want or a habit. If you see cannot, it is about a rule or a physical problem.
