Negative sentences with do not, does not and did not
When creating negative sentences, we usually use shortened forms: don’t, doesn’t and didn’t together with the base form of the verb.
Note: Save the long forms (do not, does not and did not) for when you want to create emphasis. When speaking, you would put an accent on the ‘not’.
