Default Re: Question

Did you killed her?
Wrong

Did you kill her?
Correct

Do you kill her?
Grammatical, but very strange. It would imply a habitual behavior (i.e. that you kill someone repeatedly, for habit)
EDIT: Come to think about it, still we would say "This thing is killing me"

Never do that again,understood?
Never do that again,understand?

Both are correct, but I dare say both are a bit informal. In a more grammatically correct (or formal, if you prefer) way, they would be phrased as:
"Never do that again, is that/have you understood?"
"Never do that again, do you understand?"
