Didn't received/receive

Hi, I have a grammar question. When I want to say something on past, I have to say the verb on present? For example, what is correct.

"I did received your message" or "I did receive your message"

Thank you all.

Lucas Castellani When I want to say something on past, I have to say the verb on present? It's not "the present". It's called the plain form of the verb.

After do, does, and did, use only the plain form. "did" makes it past.

— Did you receive my message?
