🚫 Saying 'No' in English
In this story, we see a lot of things that are not happening. To reach A2, you must master the word 'do not' (or 'did not' for the past).
How it works:
- Present (Now): Subject + do not + action Example: "They do not buy things." → (They refuse to buy).
- Past (Before): Subject + did not + action Example: "Trudeau did not go." → (He stayed away).
Key Shift: Notice that when we use did not, the action word stays simple. ❌ did not went ✅ did not go
