Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the base form of the verb after "did not". The correct phrase is "did not establish", not "did not established".
Common error
Avoid using the past participle form of a verb (e.g., "established") after the auxiliary verb "did". "Did" already indicates past tense, so the base form of the verb (e.g., "establish") should be used. Always write "did not establish".
