Imagine this blunder!

 Wednesday, March 2, 2016
 That moment when someone tried to reach you but you missed her calls and when you finally picked it, you heard: "Did you saw my missed call?" What would you say? The caller would have thought that since it is in the past, then the past tense form of a verb should be used to ask the question. Sorry, not so! Basically, questions, in their direct forms, are asked using simple present tense forms of verbs (i.e. see") If you saw the call, you can then say: "Yes, I saw it". This appears simple but many are still caught guilty of it. Many more people that would say they cannot be caught guilty of such "cheap" blunder don't even know the underlying principles that guide such. I guess you now know better? Kindly note.
