Learning

The "Not" Rule

To say something is not true, we use the word not. Look at how it changes the sentence:

  • Positive: Brazil won games. →\rightarrow Negative: Brazil did not win many games.
  • Positive: Ancelotti will coach Italy. →\rightarrow Negative: Ancelotti will not coach Italy.
  • Positive: Neymar can play. →\rightarrow Negative: Neymar cannot play.

Quick Tip: When we use did not or will not, the action word (like win or coach) stays in its simple, original form. Don't change the ending!
