DID / DIDN’T + BASE FORM
But what exactly is a base form?
A base form is simply the original and simplest form of a verb.
For example:
Go → base form
Went → past form
Eat → base form
Ate → past form
Sleep → base form
Slept → past form
This matters because many grammar mistakes happen when people don’t know the original form of the verb.
For example:
❌ I didn’t went
✅ I didn’t go
Why?
Because after “didn’t,” the verb must return to its base form.
Learn the root.Master the sentence.That’s the shortcut.
