Columbus

0I happened to find the sentence below which I think is incorrect.02br
02br
00I believe we should use '01i01b00had02b02i00' for the '01b01i00did02i02b00'.02br
02br
00a) Columbus believed that he 01b00did02b00 actually sailed to India until the day he died.02br
02br
00Any suggestion?0-

00But I think I should use bare form of a verb in that case such as:02br
02br
01i00I do like you.02i02br
02br
01i00He does like you.02i02br
02br
01i00He did survive the earthquake.02i02br
02br
00Is it incorrect?0-

1i00Did he survived?02i02br
02br
01i00He 'did survived.02i02br
02br
00I do not think they should be judged on the same criteria.02br
02br
00Notwithstanding this, we agree that "did survived" is incorrect grammar.0-

0I couldn't believe my eyes when I read, "He did survived" and "Did he survived?"02br
02br
00I've never in my life heard or read that 'did' can be followed a verb in the past tense. 02br

00Incho proves his point by making use of the google website, but can we trust the website to give us the correct information? 02br

00...believed he did actually sail...02br
02br
00...belived he had actually sailed...02br
