Usage of do and did

[Ammys]

Hi,
I have learned that, first form should be used after do and does. But heard someone using ' do you went there ' ? Is the sentance correct? I used to say 'did you go there?' in this context.

Please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have learned that first form should be used after "do" and "does" but heard someone using 'Do you went there?'

Is the sentence correct?

Absolutely not!

I used to say 'Did you go there?' in this context.

That sentence is correct.

But I heard someone [STRIKE]using[/STRIKE] say 'Do you went there'. [STRIKE]?[/STRIKE] Is the sentence correct? I used to say 'Did you go there?' in this context.

You were correct. You should start saying that again. ("I used to" means you don't do something anymore. I don't think you mean that.)

Never put a space after an opening quotation mark or before a closing one.

Thank you. Let me ask you one more doubt? How can i expresss something done habitually?
( As you corrected 'used to' means that something don't do anymore)
I have been using Did you go there? Is this correct?

Thank you. [STRIKE]Let[/STRIKE] I'd like to ask you one more question. [STRIKE]doubt?[/STRIKE] How can I express something done habitually?
(As you [STRIKE]corrected[/STRIKE] pointed out 'used to' [STRIKE]means that[/STRIKE] is for something we don't do anymore)

Should I say: "I have been using Did you go there?

Not quite. The present perfect continuous does not always include the present - it can refer to a time period starting in the past up to (but excluding) the present.

What you need is the present simple. Try:
I normally say "Did you go there?"

You can say "I am used to saying/hearing "Did you go there?" There, "I am used to ..." means "I am accustomed to ...".

Ammys, just for your reference, you don't need to write a post to thank someone on the forum. Clicking Like/Thank suffices.

Start saying it again, and stick with it.
