What’s right
Is it right to say ( I didn’t see that ..) or ( I didn’t saw that..) ?

Re: What’s right
Hello Hussam,

“I didn’t see that” is right; it is the opposite of “I saw that”. (Because the verb “do” is conjugated in “I didn’t see that”, “see” remains as an infinitive and is not conjugated.)

One could also say “I haven’t seen that”, which is the opposite of “I have seen that”.

“I didn’t saw that” is ungrammatical, and is therefore wrong.
