0 In general while speaking, we say " what he did was......." According to grammer rule, if we use 'did` next verb will be in present tense ... like "Did you 01 b 00 get 02 b 00 that book ?" 02 br

00 So, my question is, In the first statement, even though we used "did", we are using "was" is it right ? 02 br

" According to grammer rule, if we use 'did` next verb will be in present tense ... " 00 No, 'get' here is not present tense, it is the infinitive. Here, it is used with the auxiliary 'did' to make past tense.
