    Default simple past

    I have a sentence.
    "The producers of the programme had a lot of money ."
    I change it into negative
    "the producer of the programme had not a lot of money"
    OR
    "the producer of the programme didn't have a lot of money"
    Which are sentences true ? And Why ? Thanks .

    the producer had not a lot of money: sai.
    the producer had no money: văn nói.
    the producer didn't have a lot of money : thường là văn nói vì dùng contraction, trừ khi dùng trong dialogue.

    The producer did not have a lot of money: văn viết và nói.
