Hi Anon, Only one verb will change due to person, number, or tense. " He didn't see, he didn't have, he didn't go. The positive forms of these phrases don't use "to do" so they take the past: He saw, he had, he went.

Hi Anon,

Only one verb will change due to person, number, or tense.

In this case, you use "he didn't." The "didn't" is the first person, singular, past tense form of "to do."

For the main verb, it stays as "have."

He didn't see, he didn't have, he didn't go. The positive forms of these phrases don't use "to do" so they take the past: He saw, he had, he went.
