🛑 The 'No' Rule (Negatives)

In English, to say someone did not do something in the past, we use: did not + action word.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • did not score →\rightarrow (Zero points)
  • did not play →\rightarrow (Stayed on the bench)

Simple Pattern: Subject →\rightarrow did not →\rightarrow Action

Example: The Cubs →\rightarrow did not →\rightarrow score.

🏆 Comparing Quality

To describe a person's skill level, use "one of the best".

  • Jacob deGrom is now one of the best players in history.

This is a great A2 phrase to use when you want to say someone is in a top group, not just the only one.
