Use of continued with didn't

Is this sentence right
The fight didn't continued because

No. When we use the auxiliary DO, we need the bare infinitive (continue).

It’s not a sentence. You will need to add something after because, e.g., The fight didn’t continue because the ref stopped it.

No. And there are two reasons for that.

Think about it.

(1)

Didn't = form of 'to do'

After a form of 'to do' (= do, does, did, don't, doesn't, didn't) you always use the bare infinitive (=continue)

Please note that didn't is short for did not.

The fight didn't continue because..
