Printable grammar worksheet for practicing "Do," "Does," and "Did" in present and past tenses.

You're working on a grammar worksheet that asks you to complete sentences using Do, Does, or Did — depending on the tense and subject.

Let’s break down the rules first, then fill in each blank:

---

✔ RULES:

- Do → used with I, you, we, they (plural subjects) in present tense
- Does → used with he, she, it (singular 3rd person) in present tense
- Did → used for all subjects in past tense

---

Now let’s go sentence by sentence:

---

1. ___ you have a driver's license? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “you” → use Do
✔ Do

2. What hours ___ she work on Monday? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “she” → use Does
✔ Does

3. What ___ she eat for breakfast? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “she” → use Does
✔ Does

4. When ___ you usually get home? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “you” → use Do
✔ Do

5. How ___ prisoners pass the whole day in prison? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “prisoners” (plural) → use Do
✔ Do

6. ___ he come in with anyone else? (Past tense)
→ Past tense → use Did (regardless of subject)
✔ Did

7. What ___ you see? (Past tense)
→ Past tense → use Did
✔ Did

8. What exactly ___ you know? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “you” → use Do
✔ Do

9. How ___ you practice your English? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “you” → use Do
✔ Do

10. I ___ read it at all. (Past tense)
→ Past tense → use Did
✔ Did

11. What questions ___ you ask yourself every day? (Present tense)
→ Subject: “you” → use Do
✔ Do

12. What would you ___ today if there is no more tomorrow? (Present tense)
→ This is a bit tricky — but “would you ___” implies a hypothetical present/future. The base verb after “would” is “do”, so we need do here as part of the structure.
✔ do *(Note: "would you do" is correct — this is not an auxiliary question, but a modal + base verb)*

> ⚠️ Important note: In #12, “would you ___” is not asking for an auxiliary like Do/Does/Did — it’s a modal verb (“would”) followed by the base verb “do”. So the answer is just do (not Do/Does/Did as per the pattern). But since the worksheet says “complete with Do/Does/Did”, and “do” is the base form, it still fits.

13. What ___ he fear most in life? (Past tense)
→ Past tense → use Did
✔ Did

14. Why ___ people cry? (Present tense)

- Past simple questions (Did)
- Subject-verb agreement (he/she/it → Does; I/you/we/they → Do)
