The Power of "NOT"
In this story, we see a pattern of denial. When we want to say someone did not do something, we use did not + action.
Look at these changes:
- He picked He did not pick
- They liked They did not like
- He played well He did not play well
Why this matters for A2: To move from A1 to A2, you must stop using only positive sentences. Using "did not" allows you to describe mistakes, absences, and surprises.
