Ah I see why you did that. In English double negative is for 'not' but it doesn't apply to 'had' and the following verb. That's just the way past perfect is, so every time you use had you must use the past participle of the verb instead of the present. It's not counted as double negative.

Same thing with the past tense questions. 'How did you managed' generally is not acceptable. Same thing with 'How could you do this' (not 'How could you did this') and same with 'How would you do that' (not 'How would you did that') - you cannot put a past tense because in this case it'll be a double past tense. That's the problem with English, you cannot just look word-by-word and decide which tense to use but you must read the whole sentence and decide which tense to use on each verb.

Same thing with the past tense questions. The links I gave above showed examples how are they used - just wanted to show you the reasoning behind my changes - those are stuff I learned back in primary school so it's been a while for me also, more than 15 years ago, but those rules are the iron-clad rules in English grammar that I learned first when I took English course~ (Just like basic rules in Japanese grammar)

But as I said in my user page, you're always free to undo my changes because I'm not a native speaker of English, so there may be some rules/slangs that I'm not aware of. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 15:14, 27 July 2014 (CDT)
