I know the facts about the incident, and I want to ask my friend: 'Did you know' or 'Do you know' about the incident?

Which version—'Did you know' or 'Do you know'—uses correct grammar?

Best Answer

If you want to know if your friend knew at the time, you speak in the past tense. If you want to ask your friend if he or she knows at the moment, then speak in the present tense.
