Vocabulary Learning
🛑 The Power of "NO" and "NOT"
To reach A2, you need to show that something is missing or incorrect. This text shows us three easy ways to do this:
1. No + Noun (Zero amount)
- No money → 0 dollars
- No medicine → 0 pills
- No vaccine → 0 shots
2. Not + Enough (Low amount/Not a full amount)
- Not enough money → Some money, but not the amount we need.
3. Do not + Verb (Negative action)
- Do not have → This is the opposite of "have."
Quick Tip: Use "No" when the thing is totally gone. Use "Not enough" when you have a little bit, but you need more. Example: I have money, but I do not have enough money for a car.
