i did not fly vs i did not flew

The correct phrase is "I did not fly." The verb "fly" is an irregular verb; the past tense is formed by changing the vowel in the base form (fly-flew-flown). Therefore, the correct past tense form is "flew." But the verb is used in its root form when paired with "did" or "did not", which is why the first phrase is correct.
