'Did' in Past Tense Negatives And Questions

In Past tense, we use 'did' in negatives and questions.

Examples:

worked
We wrote
You came
They went
He watched
She did
It rained

Negative Forms: 

I did not (didn't) work
We did not (didn't) write
You did not (didn't) come
They did not (didn't) go
He did not (didn't) watch
She did not (didn't) do
It did not (didn't) rain

Question Forms:

Did Subject Verb
Did I work?
Did we write?
Did you come?
Did they go?
Did he watch?
Did she do?
Did it rain?

* With did/didn't, we use the base form (work, come, go, watch, do, rain) not the past tense form (worked, came, went, watched, did, rained).

Examples:
I didn't work (not I didn't worked)
We didn't write (not We didn't wrote)
He didn't watch (not He didn't watched)
Did she do the project? ( not Did she does the project)
Did they go? (Not Did they went?)
