OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Let me find a way to explain auxiliary verbs... basically, auxiliary verbs can have their tense changed. Such as will and would, or may and might, do and did.
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Yes, will is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is did but you can say it either way
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Look at our list of auxiliary verbs, did is on that list. Main verbs normally have -ing on the end
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it can be during or is it did?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
It is during since the question wants the main verb, not the auxiliary verb
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yea

it would be might not eat since the sentence has not between the words
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but
OpenStudy (anonymous):
