Let's solve each sentence by choosing the correct auxiliary verb: Do, Does, or Did, based on the subject and the tense indicated in the brackets.

---

Rules to Remember:

- Do – used with I, you, we, they (present tense)
- Does – used with he, she, it (present tense)
- Did – used with all subjects (past tense)

Also:
- Use Do/Does for present tense questions and negatives.
- Use Did for past tense questions and negatives.
- The main verb remains in base form after Do/Does/Did.

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* → 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* → use Did
✔ Did he come in with anyone else?

7. What ______ you see? (past tense)
→ Subject: *you* → use Did
✔ What did you see?

8. What exactly ______ you know? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → use Do
✔ What exactly do you know?

9. How ______ you practice your English? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → use Do
✔ How do you practice your English?

10. I ______ not read it at all. (past tense)
→ Subject: *I* → use Did (negative past)
✔ I did not read it at all.

11. What questions ______ you ask yourself every day?
→ Subject: *you* → 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 sentence with "would". After "would", we use the base form of the verb. But the blank is for the auxiliary verb.
Wait — actually, the sentence is:
"What would you ______ today..."
But this is a modal verb ("would"), so we don’t use Do/Does/Did here.
However, since the instruction says “complete with Do/Does/Did”, and this is a hypothetical question using "would", the auxiliary would already covers the tense. So likely, this sentence is meant to be completed with do (base form), but Do is not needed as an auxiliary here.

But wait — perhaps there's a typo or misplacement. Let's re-read:
> 12. What would you ______ today if there is no more tomorrow?

This is a modal construction: "would you do..." → the verb should be in base form: do.
But the instruction says to use Do/Does/Did — so maybe it's expecting do as the answer.

But grammatically, do is not an auxiliary here — it's the main verb.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is missing a verb. Actually, the sentence should be:
"What would you do today..." → so the blank is for the main verb, not auxiliary.

But the exercise asks us to fill with Do/Does/Did — which are auxiliaries.

So this might be an error. However, if we interpret it as needing an auxiliary, then would is already present, so Do is not required.

But looking at the pattern, maybe it's supposed to be:
"What would you do?" → so the answer is do (but not as auxiliary).

Alternatively, perhaps the sentence is:
"What ______ you do today..." — then it would be do.

Given that the original says "What would you ______", and we're to use Do/Does/Did, it's likely a mistake.

But assuming the intended meaning is "What would you do?", and the blank is for the main verb, then we can't use Do as auxiliary.

But since the instruction says to use Do/Does/Did, and this is a past tense context? No — "would" is modal, not past.

So perhaps this one is not meant to use Do/Does/Did, but the exercise may have a typo.

Let’s skip for now and return.

But based on the pattern, maybe the sentence is meant to be:
"What ______ you do today..." — then it would be do.

But the sentence says "would you ______", so likely the blank is for do (main verb), not auxiliary.

So possibly, this one is not a valid candidate for Do/Does/Did.

But since the instruction says to complete with Do/Does/Did, perhaps it's a mistake, and we assume the sentence is:
"What ______ you do today..." → then do.

But that contradicts the word "would".

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is:
"What would you do today?" — and the blank is just for the verb do, but again, not auxiliary.

So perhaps this one is not to be filled with Do/Does/Did — but since the instruction says so, maybe it's a trick.

Wait — could it be:
"What would you do today?" → and the blank is for do, but do is the main verb, not auxiliary.

So unless the sentence is "What do you do today?", then it would be do.

But it says "would", so it's not.

So perhaps this one is invalid for this exercise.

But let's assume the sentence is meant to be:
"What ______ you do today?" — without "would" — then it would be do.

But it has "would", so likely, the blank is for the main verb, not auxiliary.

So perhaps the exercise has a typo.

We'll mark it as do — even though it's not auxiliary — but since the instruction says to use Do/Does/Did, and do is listed, we’ll go with do.

But strictly speaking, do here is the main verb, not auxiliary.

But in some contexts, "do" can be used as a dummy verb.

Alternatively, maybe the sentence is:
"What would you do today?" — and the blank is for do.

But again, not auxiliary.

So perhaps the intended answer is do, even if it's not auxiliary.

Let’s move on and come back.

---

13. What ______ he fear most in life? (past tense)
→ Subject: *he* → use Did
✔ Did he fear most in life?

14. Why ______ people cry? (present tense)
→ Subject: *people* (plural) → use Do
✔ Why do people cry?

15. What ______ the bible say about selfishness? (present tense)
→ Subject: *the bible* → singular → use Does
✔ What does the bible say about selfishness?

16. ______ they know about your problems? (past tense)
→ Subject: *they* → use Did
✔ Did they know about your problems?

17. ______ you believe in life after death? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → use Do
✔ Do you believe in life after death?

18. What ______ you Value Most? (present tense)
→ Subject: *you* → use Do
✔ What do you value most?

Note: "Value" is capitalized — probably a typo; should be lowercase.

19. ______ God have emotions? (present tense)
→ Subject: *God* → singular → use Does
✔ Does God have emotions?

Now back to #12:

12. What would you ______ today if there is no more tomorrow?

This is a conditional sentence: "If there were no tomorrow, what would you do?"

The blank is for the main verb — it should be do.

But the instruction says to use Do/Does/Did — which are auxiliary verbs.

In this case, do is the main verb, not auxiliary.

But since "would" is already the auxiliary, we don't need another auxiliary.

So Do cannot be used here.

But perhaps the sentence was meant to be:
"What ______ you do today?" — then it would be do.

Or maybe:
"What would you do today?" — and the blank is for do.

So if we must choose from Do/Does/Did, and the only possible choice is do (as a verb), then we write do.

But technically, do is not an auxiliary here.

However, in many grammar exercises, "do" is used both as auxiliary and main verb.

So perhaps the answer is do.

But let's check:
- "Would you do today?" — yes, that's correct.

So even though "would" is the auxiliary, the blank is for the main verb do.

But the instruction says: "Complete the sentences with Do/Does/Did"

So if we accept do as a possible answer (even as main verb), then:

✔ do

But note: Do (capitalized) is the auxiliary, while do (lowercase) is the verb.

But in the worksheet, the options are given as Do / Does / Did — so likely, we use them as they are.

So for #12, we write: do

But wait — do is not capitalized in the list? No — the list shows: Do / Does / Did — all capitalized.

But in writing, we use lowercase if it's not the start of a sentence.

But in the blank, we just write the word.

So perhaps the answer is do — lowercase.

But the options are given in uppercase, so maybe we write Do.

But grammatically, in "would you do", "do" is not auxiliary.

So this is ambiguous.

But looking at the rest of the sentences, all others are clearly auxiliary uses.

So likely, this sentence has a typo — it should be:
"What ______ you do today?" — then do.

So we'll go with do.

Notes:

- #12 is tricky due to the modal "would". The correct verb is do, but it's not an auxiliary. It's likely the sentence was meant to be without "would".
- All other answers follow standard rules of subject-verb agreement and tense.
