Vocabulary Learning
The "No" Rule
In this story, we see a very common way to say something is not happening.
The Pattern:
Subject + do not / does not + Action
- They do not have the report. (They have 0 reports)
- Experts do not know why. (They are confused)
- AAIB does not give updates. (They are silent)
Quick Tip for A2: Use do not for groups (They/We/You) → They do not know. Use does not for one person or one company (He/She/It) → The company does not know.
Words to remember from the text:
- Fuel → The "food" for the plane engine.
- Anniversary → One year after an event.
