The Power of "Did Not"

In the story, we see a pattern for talking about things that failed or didn't happen in the past. Instead of changing the verb, we just add did not before the action word.

How it works: did not + action →\rightarrow Past Negative

Examples from the text:

  • Did not score (No goals)
  • Did not try (No effort)
  • Did not work (No hard work)
  • Did not use (No young players)

Quick Rule: When you use "did not," the action word stays in its simple, present form.

❌ Did not scored (Wrong) ✅ Did not score (Right)

Useful Words for Feelings

  • Unhappy →\rightarrow Not happy
  • Sad →\rightarrow Feeling low/bad
  • Must →\rightarrow It is necessary
