Confusing sentence

I'm asking if this person sent another email to another:

Did he send another email to you or Did he sent another email to you?

I always say the first but shouldn't it be sent since he's already sent it if the other person received it?

Hi,

If it's a simple question about the past, use Simple Past tense. Just say 'Did he send another email?'

'He sent another email' is fine. But I thought you were asking about how to make a question.

Okay, I'll give you a scenario.

My friend and I have just stepped out of the theater and we are about to leave for the parking lot.

Whenever you use the following modal words in your question or statement, the verb immediately follows must remind in its bare form:
How come?

Hi,

... shouldn't it be sent ... ?Only the first verb in a verb phrase may carry the marker of the past, normally a final ed or d.

But for certain irregular verbs that already end in d in the base form (send, lend), we don't add -ed (*sen
