⚡ THE "DID NOT" TRICK

In the story, we see: "they did not win the Super Bowl."

When we talk about the past and something did not happen, we use this simple formula:

DID NOT + ACTION WORD (Base form)

Look at the difference:

  • Past: Won (They won 12 games)
  • Negative Past: Did not win (They did not win the bowl)

Notice how the word "won" changes back to "win" when we add "did not".

Other examples from daily life:

  • I played → I did not play
  • He liked → He did not like
  • She went → She did not go
