MURPHY, Raymond. English grammar in use. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002. Unit 5, page 22-C.

In questions and negative sentences we use did/didn't + infinitive (enjoy/see/go etc.):

I enjoyed
she saw
they went
you enjoy?
did she see?
they go?
I enjoy
she didn't see
they go
  • I enjoyed the party a lot. Did you enjoy it?
  • How many people did they invite to the wedding?
  • I didn't buy anything because I didn't have any money.
  • 'Did you go out?' 'No, I didn't.'

Sometimes do is the main verb in the sentence (did you do?, I didn't do):

  • What did you do at the weekend? (not What did you at the weekend?)
  • I didn't do anything. (not I didn't anything)
