Answer:
When I go to shops to buy something, always workers ask me, "Did you need a bag?" or "Did you need a receipt?". I'm really wondering why they say "Did" than "Do" because I learned that when I talk about something that is happening now then I need to use the verb in the present tense.
Also one time my friend asked me "Did you want to go to the cafe?". But at that time we were talking about the place where we were about to go. So I was curious why she didn't use "do" because she was asking me where to go at that moment.
My question is, why people are using "did" for asking something, happening in the present.
