Vocabulary Learning
🛠️ The "Did Not" Pattern
In this story, we see a very important way to say NO about things that happened in the past.
The Pattern:
Person/Thing + did not + action word (normal form)
Examples from the text:
- They did not have masks. (Not: They did not had)
- Companies did not follow rules. (Not: Companies did not followed)
Why this helps you reach A2:
When you use did not, the action word stays simple. It doesn't change to a past version.
Quick Swap:
- They cleaned the tank (Yes ✅) They did not clean the tank (No ❌)
- They had tools (Yes ✅) They did not have tools (No ❌)
Vocabulary Note: "In Trouble" When the text says the owner is "in trouble with the law," it means the police are angry or the person might go to jail. It is a common way to describe a bad situation.
