"Did you destroy it on purpose?"

Jame throw and bumped his car truck on purpose?

"Did you destroy it on purpose?"
"Did you done it on purpose?"

Can we say in that way?

" You can but that's grammatically incorrect. When a sentence has auxiliary verb, the main verb should be in its base form. It should be, Did you do it on purpose?

... unless the auxiliary verb is one of the forms of 'have' or 'be'.

No need to be sorry. What you said works almost all the time. I was just reminding everyone on the thread that there are exceptions.

I am afraid that I have no idea what you mean by 'throw' in this sentence. Was Jame (James?) driving a car or a truck?
