How to use verb with did

Question

I have a question on using verb.

Did you call me yesterday?

Did you called me yesterday?

Which one is correct? Did says the incident happened in past so I don't know if I can use called. Please advice.

You may find [ell.se] more suitable for this type of basic question. — TrevorD, Oct 13 '13 at 14:35

No, since did already indicates the past tense, we do not say 'called'. Your first sentence is correct.

And the verb form of advice is spelt with an s.

Please advise me.

On reading that, I gave you some advice.

in questions and negatives use did/didn't + infinitive (enjoy/call/see etc.)

Q :Did you go out last night ? A : Yes, I went to the cinema but I didn't enjoy the film much.

I suggest English Grammar in Use to improve your grammar issues.

As a rule of thumb: contrary to practice in other languages, in English the past is marked only once.
