🛑 The 'Did Not' Pattern

In the story, we see: "He did not play some games."

When we talk about things that happened in the past but did not happen, we use this simple formula:

Person + did not + basic action

  • He did not play \rightarrow (Correct)
  • He did not played \rightarrow (Wrong!)

Why this matters for A2: Once you use "did not," the action word returns to its simplest form. You don't need to change the end of the word.


🚀 Moving from 'Now' to 'Future'

Look at these two shifts in the text:

  1. Now: "Liverpool must think..."
  2. Future: "He will play for Brazil..."

Use WILL when you are sure about a coming event.

  • Today \rightarrow Alisson is healthy.
  • Next game \rightarrow Alisson will play.
