From present to past - Pepsi Max the Job interview

 
1 - Change the text to the past simple

They just finished law school. They are looking for new jobs. They see an ad for a job opening at Torre & Associates. But they know it won't be easy.

Tom and his friends go to the office on the day of the interview. The hall is full of potential job candidates waiting to be interviewed.

Tom and his friends realized their chances of getting a job are pretty slim. So, they come up with an awesome plan.

The interviewer steps out of the office and calls for Mr. Goodman. Goodman is Bill's last name. So, he steps into the office. The interviewer looks at his resumé and asks, "What makes you think you qualify for this job?"

Bill pretends he is being harmed. He screams and makes a lot of noise. Joe pretends to be afraid. He stands up and walks out. The other interviewees start to leave too. They are scared out of their wits.

Bill continues to make a lot of noise. He slams himself against the wall. More interviewees start to leave. Meanwhile, Bill opens the door and hurls himself across the hall.

Everyone else leaves too...except for Tom. The interviewer looks at him dumbfounded and says, 'next'. Tom just smiles and waves.

Negative form of present simple

To make a negative sentence in English we normally use Don't or Doesn't with all verbs EXCEPT To Be and Modal verbs (Can, might, should etc.).

Affirmative: You speak Spanish.
Negative: You don't speak Spanish.

Contractions

Don't = Do not
Doesn't = Does not

I don't like fish = I do not like fish.

There is no difference in meaning though we normally use contractions in spoken English.

Word Order of Negative Sentences

The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in English in the Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

Subject	don't/doesn't	Verb*	The Rest of the sentence
I / you / we / they	don't	have / buy eat / like etc.	cereal for breakfast
he / she / it	doesn't

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.

Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

• You don't speak Russian.
• John doesn't speak French.
• We don't have time for a quick drink.
• It doesn't rain much in summer.
• They don't want to come with us.
• She doesn't like meat.
