Explanation:
- For
past tense verbs (e.g., bought, lost, went, jumped, ran), we use
"did not" + base verb.
- For
present simple verbs (like "belongs"), we use
"does not" + base verb.
- We always keep the subject and object the same; only the verb structure changes to make it negative.
✔ All sentences are now correctly converted into negative forms.
