[General] dealt with VS deal with

[Nesh123]

Hi everyone,

My name's Nebojsha and I just joined here. Would be grateful If someone could explain the difference between these 2 sentences: how you dealt with it VS how did you deal with it?

Describe a difficult time that you experienced as a student.You should say:

• when it was
• why was it difficult
• how you dealt with it ------> Can I say "how did you deal with It" instead? And what Is the difference?

Thank you very much.

Dealt = did deal.

Tell me how you dealt with it? = How did you deal with it?

Note my corrections above. There is no need to capitalise "if", "it" or "is" unless they are the first word of a sentence.
