In questions and negatives we use DID/DIDN'T plus the infinitive form of the verb.
I enjoyed - Did you enjoy? - I didn't enjoy.
She saw - Did she see? - She didn't see.
They went - Did they go? - They didn't go.

Examples:
Did you go out last night?
Yes, I went to the cinema, but I didn't enjoy the film very much.
When did Mr. Thomas die?
About ten years ago.
They didn't invite her to the party, so she didn't go.

The past of to be (am/is/are) is was/were.
I/he/she/it was / wasn't
We/you/they were / weren't
Was I/he/she/it?
Were we/you/they?

Note that we do not use did in negatives and questions with was/were.
Examples:
I was angry because they were late.
Was the weather good when you were on holiday?
They weren't able to come because they were so busy.
Did you go out last night or were you too tired?
