When do I use I didn't [verb in infinitive] vs I haven't [verb in past participle].the following variations:

I didn't [verb in infinitive]

I haven't [verb in past participle].

I know that it has to do if it is a specifiecspecific time (I didn't doI didn't do) and a non-specifiecspecific time (I haven't doneI haven't done), but I have seen (this time correct?) didn't

Didn't in sentences where the time is not specified. For example here: "I didn't see that coming" (see or saw? I think see), "What did you do yesterday?" (But I think that one isn't correct, is it?)

"I didn't see that coming" (see or saw? I think see),

"What did you do yesterday?" (But I think that one isn't correct, is it?)

or "You didn't give me wings, but you showed me how to use them".

"You didn't give me wings, but you showed me how to use them".

Thanks for your help.

"I didn't do it" vs "I haven't done it" - When do you use which?
