I did

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple past, completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 1st person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active indicative, first person singular, expresses a simple completed action performed by the speaker. "I did" preserves the broad, root-based sense of carrying out or bringing about an action without narrowing the semantic range.
