didn't take or didn't took?

[ripnix]

Hello,
I'll try to express myself the best, here.
My issue is how to express my self in cases like this one:
I didn't take/took any notes.
The same goes for have along w/ an irregular verb :(
Can you explain it to me?

Sincerely,
Filipe Rocha

Hello, Filipe-- and welcome to UE.

The negative past is representated by did not (rather than present do/does not); the main verb does not change from the dictionary form:

We didn't go last night.
I didn't take notes.
She didn't learn anything.

What is your question about have?

Thank you very much. And nice to meet you Mister Micawber.
I'll be here alot. I'm trying to improve my english skills. I read a lot in english. I even am starting to think in english. eheheh! Actually, sometimes I can't express myself in Portuguese, and I use English.

With "to have". Shall we say
"I Haven't [taken/took] lessons."
What is the tense we should use? Simple Past or Past Participle?
Actually the all issue goes on this. When should we use either tenses?
Thanks again.
