⚡ The Power of 'DO NOT'

In the text, we see: "They do not like each other."

When you want to say 'no' for an action in English, we use do not. This is a building block for A2 learners to make simple negative sentences.

The Pattern: Person → do not → Action

Examples from life:

  • I do not like coffee.
  • We do not live in Bristol.
  • They do not watch TV.
