A lady spoke with me this morning and I feel she used wrong English in out conversation

Please, help me check if she was correct

She asked:

'How often did your ex had sex with you?'

I think it should be

How often did your ex have sex with you?'

Please, which of the above is correct? Thank you

Yours is correct.

It should be >>> " how often did your ex have sex with you"?

Her English is more correct, it is all about what happened in the past.

Since u are no longer with ur ex.... it is had.

JGrace1:
The lady is correct.it's called sequence of tenses in English.past tense goes with past tense.

the guy is correct. The verb 'did' expresses the tense and finiteness, hence, the following verb will be in bare form.

Wahala o

Which is which, gramarrians

JGrace1:
u are absolutely correct.to rewrite it will be like,how often DID u HAVE sex with ur ex?

Oh! Calm down sis,
I've read one post yesterday where you're explaining how guys are struggling to answer the meaning of a single vocabulary word when asked by a girl, So i know you might be an english teacher that's why i recommended the OP to seek for your help.
