Our experts

did you tried vs have you tried

The correct phrase is 'have you tried?' as it uses the present perfect tense. 'Did you tried' is incorrect because 'tried' should be in the base form after 'did'. The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now or actions that have an effect on the present.
