Vocabulary Learning
The Power of "DID NOT"
When we want to say someone failed to do something in the past, we use did not + [action].
Look at these examples from the story:
- Police did not check the age. (They forgot or refused to check).
- Police did not follow the law. (They broke the rules).
Crucial Rule: When you use "did not," the action word stays in its basic form.
❌ Incorrect: did not checked ✅ Correct: did not check
