đ The 'Not' Trick
Look at this sentence: "He did not hit the ball."
To say someone didn't do something in the past, we use a simple pattern:
Person did not action (simple form)
- He did not hit... (Correct â )
- He did not hitted... (Wrong â)
Why this matters for A2: When you use "did not," the action word stays in its basic, present-day form. The "did" already tells us it happened in the past.
