Questions in the Simple Past tense use did + subject + base verb. For example:
What did Sophie say? – Did shows it's in the past, and say is the base verb.
In contrast, the affirmative form uses the past form of the verb directly. For example:
Sophie said that the movie was great. – The past form of say is said.
