Did you go to the party? -> Fuistes to the party?
As shown in the example, the verb is in the present. This is because the auxiliary is one that indicates the past, so that the main verb is placed on this. This must be taken into account.

I did not go to the party -> did not go to the party.

there are exceptions discussed next.
To listen (listen) - listened

We just have to add the d when the verb ends in e.
