💡 The 'Not' Rule

In this text, we see how to say NO to an action. This is the easiest way to make negative sentences in English.

The Pattern: Person/Placedoes not (or do not) → Action

Examples from the text:

  • The USA \rightarrow does not \rightarrow let people enter.
  • The USA and Iran \rightarrow do not \rightarrow speak.

Why two different versions?

  • Does not = 1 person or 1 place (The USA).
  • Do not = 2 or more people/places (USA and Iran).

💰 Money Words

Look at how we describe costs:

  1. Cost too much \rightarrow Price is too high.
  2. Poor people \rightarrow People with very little money.
