🚫 Saying 'No' in English
In this story, we see two ways to say someone did not do something. This is very important for A2 students to describe the past.
The Simple Rule
When we talk about the past and want to say "No," we use:
did not + action word (base form).
Examples from the text:
- Did not wear → He didn't put the hat on his head.
- Did not like → He felt it was wrong.
Wait! Look at the change: Usually, for the past, we add "-ed" (like wanted or used). But when we use did not, the action word stays simple.
❌ Did not wore (Wrong) ✅ Did not wear (Correct)
Quick Comparison: Positive: He wore the hat. Negative: He did not wear the hat.
