⚡ The 'Did Not' Pattern

In the story, the Padres did not play well and did not score.

When we talk about things that didn't happen in the past, we use this simple formula:

Did not + Action Word

  • The Padres did not play well. →\rightarrow (They played badly)
  • They did not score enough. →\rightarrow (They failed to get points)

⚠️ Key Rule: Notice that we say "did not play," NOT "did not played." The action word stays in its simplest form.

🧱 Word Pairings (Adjectives)

Look at how the story describes feelings:

  • Sad →\rightarrow Because they lost.
  • Unhappy →\rightarrow Because the players failed.

Both words describe a 'bad' mood. To reach A2, you can swap them:
