we didn't receive the payment

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is the correct negative form to express that the payment was not received. It follows the standard structure of using the auxiliary verb "did" followed by the base form of the main verb.

Examples:

  • We didn't receive the payment on time.
  • I'm sorry, but we didn't receive the payment for the services rendered.
  • They didn't receive the payment confirmation yet.
  • She didn't receive the payment notification.
  • The company didn't receive the payment details.

We did not received the payment

This phrase is incorrect in English.

The correct form should be "we did not receive the payment" with the base form of the verb "receive" after the auxiliary verb "did." The incorrect use of "received" is a grammatical error.

Alternatives:

  • we did not receive the payment
  • we have not received the payment
  • we had not received the payment
  • we will not receive the payment
  • we would not receive the payment
The correct phrase is "we didn't receive the payment." The auxiliary verb "did" is followed by the base form of the main verb, which is "receive." The incorrect phrase uses "received" instead of the correct form "receive."
