Does this mean that it is grammatically wrong to use "did"? Originally Posted by 5jj

I do it every day.
I did it yesterday.
I have done it already. -- You need "done" when forming the perfect, with "have."
I had done it before he even asked.I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
