Learn English – Is “What did mumthe told you? ” – Is this correct

grammar

What did mummy told you?

Is this a correct sentence?

Or it should be:

What did mummy tell you?

Can you give an explanation why one or the other?

Best Answer

Your choices are

What had Mummy told you?
What did Mummy tell you?
What has Mummy told you?

you can figure this out by answering the questions

Mummy had told me that you were going to buy me a sweetie.
Mummy did tell me that you were going to buy me a sweetie.
Mummy has told me that you were going to buy me a sweetie.

If you used

Mummy did told me...
Mummy had tell me...
Mummy has tell me...

it would be incorrect.

In the case of a two year old, they would probably only say

Mummy told me you were going to buy me a sweetie. ( Where is it?! )
