How to ask a question

  • The formula for asking a question in the simple past tense is did + [subject] + [root form of verb].
    • Example: Did Wolfgang win the gold medal or the silver medal? Where did Wolfgang go to celebrate? Did the judges decide fairly, in your opinion?
  • When asking a question with the verb to be, you don’t need the auxiliary did. The formula is was/were + [subject].
    • oExample: Was Wolfgang in a good mood after the contest? Were people taking lots of pictures?
