How to ask the past experiance
Hi.
As I know, when we use 'do' in the question sentence, we don't care about verb's tense.
For example,
1. What does you used that?
2. Whatndoes you use that?
What if the number 2 sentense has only correctness, then how to express the past experance in the question sentnece?
