Using did in English. The timeframe of using did must be in the past. How about immediate past?

There is no time limit.

"Did you ever cut with plastic scissors when you were a child?"

"Did you pick up the fork you dropped at dinner?"

Just 'did' is fine & hassle free unless you want to be elaborate or nuanced.

There is no timeframe other than "did" is the past tense of the verb "to do".
Examples:
Past tense "I did that an hour ago.":
Present tense "He is doing that now"
Future tense "I will do that later"

Yea. It works just fine.

Speaking od grammar and sentence structure I think you missed many lessons. Your post is very nearly incoherent.

Americans tend to use the "did" form" more than British or Australian users of English.

I am British. I would say "Have you finished that task?"

Likewise I would say: "Did you go to that lunch?" (implying that you might not have gone to that lunch, so the speaker wants to know - yes or no?). Note addition of "that" to indicate a special occasion, not just any old lunch.

In Britain the use of "did" tends to be for events which are not in the immediate past, thus maybe of yesterday or a few days ago.

Some examples: "Have you ever been to Paris", but: "Did you have a good time in Paris?" "Did you enjoy your lunch with all the members of that club?" "Have you ever seen 'Star Wars'?" "Did you enjoy the 'Star Wars' sequel?" Definitely not: "Did you ever see 'Star Wars'?" (But maybe that is the way in the USA)

"Most grammarians" is misleading as appeal to authority. Suggest these grammarians be your trustworthy guides: William Strunk and E. B. White, "The Elements of Style;" "The Chicago Manual of Style;" Betty Schrampfer Azar, "Understanding and Using English Grammar;" and Patricia T. O'Conner, "Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better English in Plain English."

Argh. Why do I need grammar to understand your grammar question? Your question is gibberish to me.

The past is the past dude, there aren't graduations. If something was done 10 minutes ago, 10 hours ago or 10 centuries ago it's still the past. Tell you what, you supply your source for "most grammarians", because until you do I'm calling bullshit on that claim of yours. Don't make shti up kid.
