I wanted to know if we can use did and wanted in the same sentence.For example in the following sentence:

What did he wanted to prove through the experiment?

Is this a correct sentence? It uses did and wanted together.

In English we can only have one tensed verb in a verb phrase. The auxiliary DO is always tensed. It is always either past tense or present tense.

If we use the auxiliary DO, the Complement verb phrase will always use a PLAIN form of the verb. This is the word you see in the dictionary.

  • She didn’t WANT a chocolate.

Notice in the sentence above that because did is in the past tense, the verb want cannot be past tense. It is in the plain form. Notice also that the verb want is not present tense. The following sentence is ungrammatical:

  • She didn’t wants a chocolate. (ungrammatical).

For these reasons the Original Poster’s example needs to use the verb want in the plain form:

What did he want to prove through the experiment?

When using a verb to do, you must use the plain form of verb after it. And the verb to do is sufficient to mark the tense.

What did he want to prove through the experiment? (did marks past tense).

But there is an exception for this rule. You can use do/did with a past tense form of verb in a cleft-sentence because the verb to do functions as a lexical verb, not as an auxiliary.

All he did was eat the food.

Declarative sentence in the simple past in English:
He wanted to prove something with his experiment.

Interrogative sentence in English:
Did he want to prove something with his experiment?

Interrogative pronouns follow the interrogative sentence rule:
What did he want to prove etc.
How did he want to prove etc.
Where did he want to prove
When did he want to prove etc.

The word did in the simple past and the words do/does [careful with the s in the third person] are the helping verbs used to make interrogative sentences in English. In the interrogative form, the subject and the verb are inverted.

Do you like tea?
Did you like the tea served at the party?

This is basic English grammar. And that is the proper terminology for explaining it in the simplest way.

Please do not edit this answer. It is structured the way I want it to be structured.

You can simplify your question a lot: «Is ‘he did wanted’ correct?»

And the answer is «no». In English, when you use a modal verb, only the modal verb is inflected; the main verb remains as the bare infinitive.

So «He did want» instead of «He did wanted», and «He does want» instead of «He does wants».

Read this article about modal verbs.

With did, or didn’t, the main verb following it takes the present tense.

What did he wanted to prove through the experiment?

What did he ‘want’ to prove through the experiment?

Another example- «Why didn’t I get the ice cream?»

«Oh, I didn’t know that you didn’t get any.»
