When to use does and did ?
Hi,
i am new to this forum.
I just hv a simple question. I just want to know when to use 'does' and when to use 'did' ?
If i am right does goes with present tense and did goes with past tense.
Ex.
I didn't knew it.
I dosen't know it.
Am i right ?
TIA.

When the particle did or do precedes the verb, it goes in its infinitive form:
- I didn't know that. (past tense)
- I don't know that. (present tense)
- She doesn't know that. (present tense)
- I didn't know that. (past tense)
- I don't know that. (present tense)
- She doesn't know that. (present tense)

Yes absolutely right.Both Do/Does comes in Present Tense and Did in Past Tense.But the Example quoted is not as per the grammar.
Do comes I,You, We and They.
Does comes with He,She and it.
Did in past tense.
Coming to the business:
Ex1: I didn't Knew it.
In the above example yout intention was to say,you do not know anything.'Knew' means you already know about it

uday your example is incorrect.
only when the oration is affirmative puts the verb to him in past, and your wrote the passed verb in a negative oration.
example.
interrogative form: DID you go to europe?
afirmative form: I WENT to europe
negative form: I didint GO to europe

Just want to ask about this...'sorry for what i did wrong' or 'sorry for what i do wrong'.Which one is correct ?

If you did it in the past, then use "did."
It's harder to think of a situation in which you'd say "Sorry for what I do wrong."
Remember that "I" is a capital letter.

you are right wit does
but when we use did there is no need to use second or third form here we only use first form
like,
i didn't know it.
i did not go there.
in the past indefinite we use second form in affirmatime or simple sentenses like,
i knew it.
he knew it.
we never use second form with did because it already a seco

What you're trying to say is:
I didn't know it. (past)
I don't know it. (present)
But you are correct about this verb:
knew (past verb)
know (present verb)
The English language is very confusing and often has exceptional grammatical rules that does not follow the general rules. I hope I helped rather than caused more confusion.
