Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the base form of the verb after "did not". The correct phrasing is "did not display", not "did not displayed".
Common error
Avoid adding the past tense ending '-ed' to the verb after "did not". The auxiliary verb 'did' already indicates the past tense, so the main verb should remain in its base form. For example, say "they did not display" instead of "they did not displayed".
