Used exclusively in 하게체 to ask the listener about a past event. 하게체 is a register of speech that slightly lowers the listener and is falling out of fashion as of recently. It sounds extremely awkward when used by younger people.
Example
그식당이맛있던가?
Was that restaurant good?
뭐라고하던가?
What did she say?
2.
Asking oneself about the past

Did I say that?
둘이그렇게친했던가?
Were they really that close?
혹시내가기분을안좋게했던가해서걱정했지.
I was worried that maybe I had hurt your feelings.
