Okay, so I have an English/grammar question.

My daughter was telling me (and poking fun) about how her English teacher said "well did" when he meant to say well done.

I got to thinking about it and it seems to me there is nothing terribly wrong with "well did" except that it doesn't sound proper.

I did it. I did it well. I did well.... So far so good, right?

Yet if you use done in any of those it's obviously wrong. I done it well. I done well. 

So why can't it be well did, interchangeable with well done?

What rule of english or grammar am I missing here?

 
I think it's the "have" that makes the difference.

Since Google knows everything, here's a chart.  No "have did."

According to this, they are different parts of speech (Past Tense vs. Past Participle) so I don't think they're interchangeable.

Teaching high school - unit conversions between English and metric

Me: "Now lets change inches to cm. Let's say I have 10 inches ..."

A girl in class starts to giggle uncontrollably.

Reminds me of my physics teacher in high school teaching us about gravity and using balls as an example.

"Alright, so, let's say my balls weigh 73 newtons..."

I LOL'd.
