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:

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?

Note that we do not use did in negatives and questions with was/were.
Examples:

Did you go out last night or were you too tired?
