🛑 The 'No' Word: Did Not
In the story, we see a pattern for talking about the past when things didn't happen.
How it works:
Did not + Simple Action Word
- He did not work → (He was resting/free)
- She did not know → (She was confused)
The Golden Rule: When you use did not, the action word stays in its basic form. You don't change the ending of the word to the past.
Compare these two:
- ✅ He did not work. (Correct)
- ❌ He did not worked. (Wrong)
