My guess is you’re wishing to express in the past tense, in which case your corrected sentence is “Did you finish your work.”

A very simple fact requires your attention here, which may fix your trouble with auxiliary verbs (do/does/did) for good. The fact is that you already have the auxiliary (helping) verb did in the sentence, which is indicating the past tense for you. You do not need the main verb finish to take on the past tense as well (finished). This is where most interrogative (question) and negative (using ‘not’) statements in the simple past tense go wrong. Just take heed of this following golden rule:

Whenever in an interrogative or negative sentence you have the presence of the auxiliary verb (do/does/did/have/has/had) and the main verb (finish) as well, it is always the auxiliary verb that acquires the past tense (do turns to did) and not the main verb (i.e. finish does not turn to finished).
