Which one is correct?

Question

I was sure I did well on the test.
I was sure I done well on the test.

Answer 1

“I was sure I did well on the test” is correct.

One way to see for yourself is to take apart the sentence:

“I was sure” is the main clause, but “I did well on the test” is also a clause (a clause is just a word group that contains a subject and a verb). This second clause is a subordinate clause that is subordinated (or put to a lower rank) by an understood “that”; i.e. the sentence is understood to be “I was sure THAT I did well on the test.”

But if we take the subordinate clause and just look at the subject and verb, you would have two options: “I did well on the test” or “I done well on the test.” I should be clear which version is correct.

Answer 2

Neither. The sentence itself is in the past tense (I was sure). The thing that, at the time you had done (well on the test) is now past perfect. So:

I was sure I had done well on the test. Like -

I AM sure I did well on the test.

I WAS sure I HAD DONE well on the test.

Answer 3

The first one

Answer 7

Yes, as you have been told, "I was sure I did well on the test."
When teaching grammar, I tell kids that 'done' always needs a "friend". For example, "have done", "was done", "is done", "were done", "are done".

Neither. It's "I was sure I had done well on the test."
