The Power of "NOT"

In English, we use not to change a 'Yes' to a 'No'. This is the fastest way to describe a situation in A2 English.

Look at these patterns from the news:

  • Positive: He is in the team. →\rightarrow Negative: He is not in the team.
  • Positive: They agree. →\rightarrow Negative: They do not agree.
  • Positive: They like this. →\rightarrow Negative: They did not like this.

Simple Rule: If you see is/are, just put not after it. If you see an action (like agree or like), use do not or did not before the action.

Quick Comparison:

  • Is not →\rightarrow Right now (Present)
  • Did not →\rightarrow In the past (Finished)
