1. _____ to the cinema last night?      

Explanation

The correct answer is "Did you go" because the question is asking about an action that happened in the past, so the past simple form of the verb "go" should be used. "Did you went" is incorrect because "did" is already the past tense form of the verb "do" and should be followed by the base form of the verb. "Were you" is also incorrect because it is asking about a state or condition, not an action.

The correct answer is "was he". This is because the question is asking about the subject "he" and the past action of "doing" when the speaker arrived.
