Did you…? questions
Questions and negatives in the past.
The rules
- Past question: Did + you + base verb.
- After "didn’t", use the base verb: didn’t see.
- "did" already shows the past, so the verb stays "get".
- Did + subject + base verb: "Did he call…?"
- Short answer with "did": No, I didn’t.
- Question word + did + subject + base verb.
Examples
- Did you enjoy the party?
- I didn’t see the email.
- What time did she get home?
- Did he call you?
- No, I didn’t.
- Where did you go on holiday.
