you didn't come vs you didn't came

The correct phrase is 'you didn't come.' 'Come' is the base form of the verb, and in negative sentences with 'didn't,' we use the base form of the verb. 'You didn't came' is incorrect because 'came' is the past tense form of the verb, which is not used after 'didn't.'
