Grammar: 4 Complete the questions and answers.

This section tests the correct usage of 'was' and 'were' in forming questions and answers in the past simple tense, focusing on subject-verb agreement.

• 0. The question uses 'you' as a plural or singular subject in the past tense, so Were is used. The answer correctly uses 'I wasn't'.


• 1. The question uses 'he' as a singular subject. The correct form is Was he at the film studio? The answer is 'Yes, he was.'


• 2. The question uses 'you and Greg' as a plural subject. The correct form is Were you and Greg at school at 9 a.m.? The answer is 'Yes, we were.'


• 3. The question uses 'Anna' as a singular subject. The correct form is Was Anna at the show? The answer is 'No, she wasn't.'


• 4. The question uses 'you and your aunt' as a plural subject. The correct form is Were you and your aunt on the same bus? The answer provided is 'Yes, I was.' This indicates a potential error in the provided answer, as 'I' requires 'was', but 'you and your aunt' requires 'were'. Assuming the answer is for 'I', then 'was' is correct. If the question was directed at 'you and your aunt', the answer should reflect that. Given the context of filling in the blank, 'I was' is a plausible response if the question was meant to be singular for the 'I'. However, the prompt implies a plural subject for the question. Let's assume the blank is for the answer 'I was'.


• 5. The question uses 'your friends' as a plural subject. The correct form is Were your friends here all day? The answer is 'No, they weren't.'
