🌧️ The 'Did Not' Pattern
When we talk about things that failed to happen in the past, we use a very simple tool: did not + action.
Look at the text:
- Alex G did not play.
- Massive Attack did not play.
How it works: Normally, for the past, we add -ed (e.g., stopped). But when we use did not, the action word stays in its basic, present form.
did not playeddid not play
