World-schooling
Some children do not go to a regular school. Instead, they travel with their family to different countries. They learn by seeing new places, meeting new people, and trying new things. For example, they can learn about animals in the jungle, taste foods from another country, or practice speaking a new language. This way of learning is called world-schooling. Children can have fun and learn a lot at the same time.

These children didn’t go to a regular school. What did they learn or do during their travels?
Explanation
1. Ontkenningen (negatives)
Je gebruikt didn’t + werkwoord (hele werkwoord).
Voorbeeld:
✅ They visited Paris. (Zij bezochten Parijs.)
❌ They didn’t visit Paris. (Zij bezochten Parijs niet.)
👉 Let op: na didn’t gebruik je altijd het hele werkwoord, dus geen -ed!
2. Vragen (questions)
Je begint met Did + persoon + werkwoord (hele werkwoord).
Voorbeeld:
✅ Did they visit Paris? (Bezochten zij Parijs?)
Antwoord: Yes, they did. / No, they didn’t.
👉 Ook hier gebruik je na did het hele werkwoord.
3. Ezelsbruggetje
Did + hele werkwoord → voor vragen.
Didn’t + hele werkwoord → voor ontkenningen.
Alleen bij bevestigende zinnen gebruik je het verleden (visited, played, learned).
Voorbeelden
Bevestigend: They learned a lot during their travels.
Ontkenning: They didn’t go to a regular school.
Vraag: Did they visit many countries?
