The Power of "Did Not"

In this story, we see a pattern for talking about things that failed or didn't happen. To reach A2, you need to move from "No" to "Did not + Action."

Look at these examples from the text:

  • The WFI did not like this.
  • She did not win a place.
  • They did not say who was right.

How it works: When we talk about the past, we don't change the action word. We just put "did not" in front of it.

  • Did not liked \rightarrow Did not like
  • Did not won \rightarrow Did not win

Quick Tip: Use this when you want to explain why a result was negative.

  • Example: "I did not go to the park because it rained."

Useful Vocabulary for Law/Rules

  • Case \rightarrow A legal problem in court.
  • Trials \rightarrow Tests to see who is the best athlete.
