Let's solve the worksheet titled "Do, Does, Did" step by step. The task is to complete each sentence using Do, Does, or Did, based on the subject and the tense indicated in parentheses.
---
- Do – used with plural subjects or "I/you/we/they" in present tense.
- Does – used with singular subjects (he/she/it) in present tense.
- Did – used for past tense (all subjects).
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. ___ you have a driver's license? (Present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → Use Do
✔ Do you have a driver's license?
2. What hours ___ she work on Monday? (Present tense)
→ Subject: *she* (singular) → Use Does
✔ What hours does she work on Monday?
3. What ___ she eat for breakfast? (Present tense)
→ Subject: *she* → Use Does
✔ What does she eat for breakfast?
4. When ___ you usually get home?
→ Subject: *you* → Use Do
✔ When do you usually get home?
5. How ___ prisoners pass the whole day in prison? (present tense)
→ Subject: *prisoners* (plural) → Use Do
✔ How do prisoners pass the whole day in prison?
6. ___ he come in with anyone else? (past tense)
→ Subject: *he* → Past tense → Use Did
✔ Did he come in with anyone else?
7. What ___ you see? (past tense)
→ Subject: *you* → Past tense → Use Did
✔ What did you see?
8. What exactly ___ you know? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → Present tense → Use Do
✔ What exactly do you know?
9. How ___ you practice your English? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → Present tense → Use Do
✔ How do you practice your English?
10. ___ not read it at all. (past tense)
→ This is a negative statement. Missing subject, but implied as *I* or *He/She*. Since it's past tense, use Did.
→ "Did not read" → Didn't
✔ Did not read it at all.
*(Note: This is likely meant to be "I did not read it at all." So the blank should be Did.)*
11. What questions ___ you ask yourself every day?
→ Subject: *you* → Present tense → Use Do
✔ What questions do you ask yourself every day?
12. What would you ___ today if there is no more tomorrow?
→ This is a conditional question. "Would you ___?" → We need a verb here. But the blank is before the verb. However, this is asking for the auxiliary verb.
→ Actually, this sentence doesn’t require Do/Does/Did because "would" is already the auxiliary.
→ But since the instruction says to use Do/Does/Did, and the sentence structure suggests a missing auxiliary, this might be a typo or misphrased.
→ Wait — looking again: "What would you ___ today..." → It's likely asking for do as the main verb. But the blank is for an auxiliary.
→ No auxiliary needed after "would". So perhaps this one is not intended to use Do/Does/Did.
→ But the pattern suggests we must fill it.
→ If we assume the sentence is: "What would you do today..." then the blank is for the verb do, not an auxiliary.
→ But the instructions say "complete with Do/Does/Did", so maybe it's a mistake.
→ Alternatively, perhaps it's meant to be: "What would you do?" — but that uses "would", not Do/Does/Did.
→ Conclusion: This sentence does not fit the pattern. It may be a mistake.
→ However, if we interpret it as: "What do you do today...?" then it's present tense. But "would" makes it conditional.
→ So likely, this sentence is incorrect or misplaced.
→ But if we follow the logic: "What would you do?" → the verb is do, but not as auxiliary.
→ Since the instruction is to use Do/Does/Did, and "would" is already there, no Do/Does/Did is needed.
→ But if forced to choose: Maybe it's Do? No — "would" already serves as auxiliary.
→ So possibly, this sentence is not valid for this exercise.
→ Let's skip or mark as N/A.
✘ This sentence cannot be completed with Do/Does/Did due to "would".
13. What ___ he fear most in life? (past tense)
→ Subject: *he* → Past tense → Use Did
✔ What did he fear most in life?
14. Why ___ people cry? (present tense)
→ Subject: *people* (plural) → Use Do
✔ Why do people cry?

✔ What does the bible say about selfishness?
16. ___ they know about our problems? (past tense)
