she didnt say anything vs she does say anything

The correct phrase is 'she didn't say anything.' The first phrase uses the past simple form 'didn't' to indicate that no words were spoken in the past. The second phrase 'she does say anything' is incorrect because 'does' should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is 'say,' not 'say anything.'
