Explanation
We use the Past Simple to talk about yesterday. Statements: “I watched TV. I had a shower. I bought a book. I woke up late. I ate meat. I drank juice. I took the rubbish out.” Questions use did: “Did you watch TV yesterday?” — “Yes, I did.” / “No, I didn’t.” After did the verb is in the base form: Did you watch (not watched). Negative: “I didn’t play computer games.” Wh-questions: “What did you do yesterday?” — “We went to the zoo.” Time words: yesterday, last night, last week, two days ago.

Did already shows the past, so the verb stays in the base form.
