Main Body

🚩 The 'Negative' Pattern

In this text, we see how to say "no" or "not" using the word do. For a beginner, this is the secret to making basic sentences negative.

The Pattern: Subject + do not + Action β†’\rightarrow Negative Sentence

Examples from the story:

  • Judges β†’\rightarrow do not β†’\rightarrow work for the President.
  • President Trump β†’\rightarrow does not β†’\rightarrow like decisions.
  • People β†’\rightarrow do not β†’\rightarrow trust the Court.

πŸ’‘ Quick Tip: Do vs. Does

Use does not for one person (He/She/It). Use do not for many people (They/We) or "I" and "You".

  • He does not like... (One person)
  • They do not trust... (Many people)
