What is the correct grammar The damage done or was done?

The correct grammar is "The damage done".

This is a past participle phrase acting as an adjective modifying "damage".

Here's why:

* "Done" is the past participle of the verb "to do".

* In this context, it's used to describe the state of the damage (it has already happened).

* Using "was done" would make it a passive voice construction, which is grammatically correct but less concise in this case.

Example:

"The damage done by the storm was extensive."
