The 'Not' Trick (Making Sentatives Negative)

In this story, we see a big change between Happy and Not Happy. To move to A2, you must know how to flip a sentence using "do not" or "does not."

The Pattern:

  • I/They/We →\rightarrow do not (don't)
  • He/She/It →\rightarrow does not (doesn't)

Examples from the text:

  • Brooklyn does not talk to his parents. (He →\rightarrow does not)
  • Brooklyn did not come. (Past tense version of 'does not')
  • Photos are not real. (Using 'not' with the verb 'to be')

Quick Logic: extPositive→Negative ext{Positive} \rightarrow \text{Negative}

  • "They love each other" →\rightarrow "They do not love each other"
  • "He says」 →\rightarrow "He does not say"
