  • " I know "find" is present after "Did", but what about "interest"?
  • Past or present tense for this second verb?
  • 'Find' is the infinitive form of the verb.
  • The past tense here is 'she did find', where 'did' is an auxiliary verb followed by the infinitive.
  • If you are talking about something that happened 100 years ago, say 'that interested her'.
