Do, Does, Did

Hello good night,

I have a question refer the verb do, does, sincerely I don't remember how I should to use that verb on pass,

They I was wondering if those question are right,

I need to use the verb do in this phrase,

Que te han hecho?

What did they done it you?
What did they made it you?
What they done it you?
What they have done it you?


Que hicistes?
What did you do?

Porque lo hizo ella?

Why did she does it?
Why did she done it?

Porque el lo have hecho de esa forma?

Why did he have done it of that way?
Why did he have made it of that way?

Where I must to use the verb done and made, I stuff with this, I need to use first the verb did in the question or I can use solely the verb in pass for example, I have done the job? or I have made the job?

Or relatively I did the job alone!

Where I can use the done verb and the made verb as its used?

I can write this!

She did something bad for the society
And
She done him something bad the last day
She made him something bad the last day,

Please I will waiting for an answer, sincerely I'm confuse, and well this is going around of my head that I can resolve for my own.

Thank you.

I think What did they do to you? or What have they done to you? would be right here.

You could write I have done the job or I have done the work but not 'I have made the job'.

Judging by the context, I think your intention is to talk about doing rather than making. It's interesting to me how some languages combine the two concepts into one verb.

You don't need 'the' before 'society' unless you are talking about a specific group of people like a charity group or an association/club of some kind.

In your second sentence I think you are trying to say She did something bad to him yesterday.

I'm sure someone can give you the reasons for these things working they way they do, but anyway I hope this is useful.

Crotalito,

Una breve nota:
En general se usa "good night" solo a despedirse en la noche. "Good evening" es mejor como saludo (lo que uso hasta más o menos las 4am).
