不,英语提问用过去式,那么回答时时态与之相附.
例如:what did you do yesterday?
答：i went shopping yesterday.
动词要变为过去式,如例句中,go变为went
例如:did you go shopping yesterday?
答：yes,i did.
或 no,i didn't.
只要是一般过去式,句中的动词都要用过去式,这是必须的,但在有情态动词或疑问句中动词可能不用变为过去式.
如：what did you do yesterday?中,后一个实义动词do因为在疑问句中所以没有变形,而前面的did则是一个助动词.
did you go shopping yesterday?也是同理
而情态动词是指should,can,may,need等等这些.
