with first and second person we use ' do ' .
first person include : i , etc...
second person include : you , your , etc...
and with third person we use ' does '
third person include : he , she , it , etc... but always remember that third person should be singular .
like we can not use does with they .
and last ' did ' is use in past tense .. no matter which person it is ..
i hope i have clear ur doubt. if now also there is some problem asked to ur english teacher she will definetly be able to clear ur doubt.

do and does are used in present tense.
do is used with plural nouns.
eg: children do their work.
but do is also used with i and you.
eg; i do my works. you do your work. etc.
does is used with singular nouns.
eg:the child does its work.
doed is not used with you and i.
did is used in past tense both with singular and plural forms.
eg: she did her work, we did it well.
hope u r cleared.
thx
