According to my unserstanding in English grammer if we use a particular tense then the whole sentence should be in that tense (I am talking in general, I know there are much more exception of the above said rule). So we generally use "Did you see that?" look in that sentence there are two verbs DO and See...first case we use past(DID is past form of DO) then we use present(See). We do not generally use "Did you saw that?" Is it wrong if I use "DID you saw that?" sentence while describing a sentence which happened in the past tense.

"Did see" is the verb phrase. A phrase is a group of words that work together within a sentence. In a verb phrase, the first verb will always indicate the temporal tense. In this case, the first verb is do.
Do is always followed by the reduced infinitive of the next verb in the phrase, in this case, see.
The verb "to have" is always followed by the past participle of the next verb in the verb phrase. Have seen, had seen, will have seen. This is the perfect tense.
The verb "to be" is followed by the present participle of the next verb in the phrase (the progressive or continuous tense - is seeing, was seeing, will be seeing), unless you are creating passive voice, in which case, it is followed by the past participle. (is seen, was seen, will be seen)
Perfect progressive/continuous is formed by using a form of "to have", either present, past, or future, plus the past participle of "to be" (been) plus the present participle of the next verb in the phrase. Have been seeing.
Etc.

There is nothing you can really do. The other guy might have a screen name, in which case you can contact the law enforcement and they might be able to pursue it. The problem is if he used his real information when registering. Or, maybe, the service provider (program) has a list of IP's that the law enforcement can use. Do not assume however that they keep IP address' of every conversation that goes on. Really, you can only get the person while he is connected, not after. *Under the right circumstances. I would use NetNanny to block certain sites. The problem with software blockers is they are easily circumventable. For the best protection I would get a hardware firewall. Dane

First of all, it is "many more exceptions of the above-said rule."
The correct sentence is "Did you see that." DID is past tense of DO, but in this case, it is referring to something that happened in the past. For instance, "Did you see that movie on TV last night?" Or, you could say "Have you seen that movie?" You could also say this: "You saw that when?" or "When did you say you saw that movie?" DID and SAW do not go together without a second subject.

Did You Saw

"Saw" is a past tense word indeed, especially when you use the word "did" in a sentence. So to say, "did you saw that?" would be like saying "Yeah, I will got the bread." rather than supposedly saying, "Yeah, I will get the bread." Not all words can be used together in a sentence. We got some strange rules in grammar, huh? LoL

The English language is one of the hardest to learn...because there are so many exceptions to rules. If you said, "Did you saw that?" in front of me...I would probably think your either 1. From another country or 2. Have poor language skills.

Did you see that? is correct. I understand your confusion, but think of the answer. "Yes, I did see that." The combination "did see" is past tense. Without the "did", you would say, "Yes, I saw that".
