1.

Words: *did · you · English? · study · first · When*

- Final sentence:
✔ When did you first study English?

3.

Words: *school? · high · When · graduate · did · you*
- Start with "When".
- Then "did you".
- Then "graduate from high school?" → but "from" isn't listed. We only have: *school?, high, When, graduate, did, you*.
- So likely: "graduate high school?" — though it's more natural to say "graduate from", but in informal usage, this might be acceptable.
- But wait — we can use the word order:
→ When did you graduate high school?
However, standard English uses "graduate from", so perhaps the intended answer is:
✔ When did you graduate from high school? — but "from" is missing.
- Since "from" isn't in the list, maybe it’s implied or omitted. Let's check the given words again:
→ Words: *school?, high, When, graduate, did, you*
→ No "from". So we must go with what's given.
→ Best possible: When did you graduate high school?
✘ Not ideal, but based on available words:
✔ When did you graduate high school?
