Meaning
Por ejemplo, si deseas preguntar a alguien dónde compró algo, podrías decir: «Where did you buy that?» que se traduciría como «¿Dónde compraste eso?». Aquí, el verbo principal es «buy» (comprar), y toda la estructura se refiere a una acción completada en el pasado.
En el contexto gramatical, «did» es crucial porque indica que la pregunta se refiere al pasado, y el verbo que le sigue siempre estará en su forma base. Esta estructura es típica del inglés para preguntas en pasado, y es importante recordar que el verbo principal no cambia de forma al usar «did».
La expresión «Where did you» es muy útil para obtener información específica sobre lugares relacionados con acciones pasadas, y es una forma común de iniciar preguntas en inglés cotidiano.
