--blanks--

Did

--feedback--

This word is used to form a question in the past tense. It's placed before the subject (you). Don't forget to capitalize it.


find

--feedback--

This word means to locate or discover something, in its base form after did in questions.

--explanation--

The Simple Past structure for forming questions starts with did + subject + base form of the verb. You use did to show the action happened in the past, but keep the main verb (e.g., find) in its base form. For example:

  • Did they finish the report on time? - You want to know if the report was concluded before it was due.

  • Did she call you yesterday? - You want to know if the person received a call the day before.

In Lisa's question, did you find is the question form to ask if James located or identified the bug they were working on the day before.
