2. Where _____ yesterday? (you be)

Explanation

The correct answer is "were you." This is the correct subject-verb order for forming a question in the past tense. In English, when asking a question in the past tense, the verb "be" is inverted with the subject pronoun "you," resulting in "were you."

Submit
3. _____ the door? (we, lock)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Did we lock." This is the correct answer because it correctly forms a question using the subject "we" and the verb "lock" in the past tense. The question is asking whether or not the action of locking the door was performed by "we."

Submit
4. _____ on time for school this morning? (they, be)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Were they." The question is asking about the subject "they" and whether or not they were on time for school this morning. The word "were" is the correct form of the verb "to be" in the past tense for the subject "they."

Submit
5. _____ to the cinema last week? (she go)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Did she go" because the question is in the past tense and is asking about an action that happened last week. The auxiliary verb "did" is used to form questions in the past tense, and "she go" is the correct form of the verb "go" in the past tense for the subject "she".

Submit
6. Where _____ last night? (you, go)

Explanation

The question is asking about the action of going last night. The correct answer, "Did you go," is in the past tense and is formed using the auxiliary verb "did" and the base form of the verb "go." This answer correctly follows the question structure and provides a grammatically correct response.

Submit
7. _____ cycling at the weekend? (you, go)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Did you go" because the question is asking about someone's activity of cycling at the weekend. The question is in the past tense, so the correct form of the verb "go" is "went". However, since the question is in the form of a yes/no question, the auxiliary verb "did" is used to form the question. Therefore, the correct answer is "Did you go".

Submit
8. _____ sick yesterday? (She be)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Was she." This is the correct question form of the sentence "She was sick yesterday." In English, when using the verb "to be" in the past tense, we invert the subject and the verb to form a question. Therefore, the correct structure is "Was she sick yesterday?"

Submit
9. What _____ at the weekend? (they do)

Explanation

The given answer "did they do" is the correct answer because it correctly completes the question by using the past tense auxiliary verb "did" followed by the subject "they" and the base form of the main verb "do." This structure is used in English to form questions in the past simple tense.

Submit
10. Where _____ yesterday? I've forgotten. (we, be)

Explanation

The correct answer is "were we". This is the correct form of the question in past tense. The subject "we" is followed by the auxiliary verb "were" in order to form a question.
