to ask me something like that?!
-----From Seinfeld
Do or did? What’s the difference?

Do or did? What’s the difference?
Thanks
did - past tense. The man had the nerve to ask him that question.
do - present tense. The man still has ‘the nerve’ even though the question is in the past.
In practical usage - no difference.
Where have you got the nerve?
Thanks
‘Where have you got the nerve?’ is not usual.
