Who did help... or who helped...?
If I wanna say it in the past, which sentence is right or is more recommended and why?1st. "Who did help you after the fire?"
2nd. "Who helped you after the fire?"
The second sentence is correct. "Did" is not coorect in the first sentence. You could say - Who did you see help you after the fire?

#2 is best. #1 is correct but rarely, if ever, used. But you are correct about "did" in other questions.
Did he help you after the fire? (most common)
He helped you after the fire? (the meaning is slightly different from the first)

The second one is correct.
The first one is more like old or poetic English. I'm not sure if its completely wrong to use it, but nobody in normal times uses it.

Thanks for answering. Somehow I think that the second is the right one too... But I've learnt that every time we're going to make a question we need to use de auxiliary "do" in the past and the principal verb in its basis form... And I'm little confused now
