"Ele não come pão."

Translation: He does not eat bread.

não means (do/does/did) not ....so why
"He didn't eat bread" doesn't fit?

[Rae.F]

No, "não" simply means "not". It is not a verb.

[diana.kond]

Oh, thank you for correction.^^. Because by doulingo translation it is written that não means (do/does/did) not.

[Rae.F]

The Romance languages don't use "to do" to conjugate the way we do in English. So I think they do that just so that the gloss won't end up being "He not eat bread".

Why is "He eats no bread" not correct?

[Rae.F]

Because grammatically, the "não" modifies the verb "come" to mean "does not eat." It does not modify the noun "pão."
