I'm at a really early stage of learning japanese, so sorry for the silly questions
I was wondering if anyone can explain to me how the Tae Kim highlights work...

For example on this page:

http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/gr … bparticles
toward the bottom it says

何できた

if you read the highlights you get
なに　で　くる

why does きた get highlighted as くる?

Also, some of the time it's confusing because it's not clear if the highlighted version includes the ending or not!
So :
帰らない
is actually
かえらない
and not
かえるらない

So am I right in understanding that what comes up in the highlight is the unaltered version of that word (which would have the same kanji, but different hiragana at the end), and that you kinda have to figure out what is means now in its new form?

PS: is 飲んだ。 = のむなだ or のなだ?
