Learning

⚡ Focus: Saying 'No' with 'Does Not'

In the story, we see: "He does not want people to see..."

When talking about one person (He, She, or a Name), we use does not to make a sentence negative.

The Pattern: Person \rightarrow does not \rightarrow action

Simple Examples:

  • Kohli \rightarrow does not want cameras.
  • He \rightarrow does not like mistakes.
  • She \rightarrow does not play cricket.

💡 Pro Tip: Notice that we say "does not want" and NOT "does not wants". The 's' disappears when 'does' arrives!
