I didn't went to market yesterday

This phrase is incorrect. The verb "went" is not the correct past tense form to use after the auxiliary verb "didn't."

The correct form is "I didn't go to the market yesterday." Use the base form of the verb (go) after the auxiliary verb (didn't) to form the negative past tense.

I didn't go to market yesterday

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This is the correct way to form a negative past tense sentence. Use the base form of the verb (go) after the auxiliary verb (didn't).
The correct phrase is "I didn't go to the market yesterday." The verb "go" should be used in the past tense form after the auxiliary verb "didn't." The incorrect phrase uses "went," which is the past tense form of "go," but it is not used correctly in this negative sentence.
