Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of "NOT"
To move to A2, you must master how to make a sentence negative. Look at these shifts from the text:
- Talking → Not talking
- Talking → Will not talk
- Did say → Did not say
The Rule of Thumb 🛠️ When we use "did", the action word stays in its simple form. We don't change the end of the word.
❌ Incorrect: She did not said ✅ Correct: She did not say
🌍 Action Words for Disagreement
Notice how the text describes people fighting with words. These are essential A2 verbs:
- Compare To say two things are similar.
- Disagree To have a different opinion.
- Ban To stop someone from coming or doing something.
Quick Tip: Use "disagree about [something]" to explain a problem.
