Best practice
When aiming for clarity, consider replacing "did not support" with stronger verbs like "rejected", "opposed", or "disapproved" depending on the context.
Common error
A common mistake is to use the past tense of the main verb after the auxiliary verb "did". Remember that "did" already indicates the past tense, so the main verb should be in its base form. Avoid writing "did not supported"; instead, use "did not support".
