get or got

Hi! In sentence 'what time did you get home last night' why we use get instead of got? Isn't it a question about something that happen in the past?
Thanks.

Hi, When you make a past tense question , you use the auxiliary verb 'did' + the base form of the verb. eg Mary cooked dinner. What time did Mary cook dinner?
