Learning

The Magic of "Did Not"

When we want to say someone failed to do something in the past, we use did not + action word.

Look at these examples from the story:

  • Lee did not come \rightarrow (He stayed away)

Quick Tip: Notice that we say "did not come," NOT "did not came." Once you use "did," the action word goes back to its normal, present form.

Comparison:

  • Positive: Katie went to a show. (Past)
  • Negative: Lee did not come. (Past negative)

Word Shift: "Stopped"

When a person quits a habit or a physical action, use stopped + action-ing.

  • Stopped wearing her ring \rightarrow She doesn't wear it anymore.
  • Stopped talking to people \rightarrow He is silent now.
