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* → 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. ___ not read it at all. (past tense)
→ This is a negative statement. Missing subject — but likely implies "I" or "He/She". But since no subject is given, we must assume a subject. However, the blank is before the verb. Let's look at structure:
→ “___ not read it at all.” → This is missing auxiliary verb.
→ Since it says past tense, and “read” is the main verb, use Did.
→ But we need a subject. Likely implied: “I did not read...” or “He did not read...”
→ So, the correct form is: Did not read → ✘ Wait! That doesn't work grammatically.
→ Actually, the correct structure is: I did not read... → So the blank should be Did only if the subject is implied. But here, the subject is missing.
→ Recheck: The sentence is: “___ not read it at all.” → It's missing both subject and auxiliary.
→ But in grammar exercises like this, sometimes the subject is implied.
→ More likely: This is meant to be Did (as in "Did he not read it at all?" → but that would be a question).
→ But the sentence is declarative: “___ not read it at all.” → So it’s likely: I did not read it at all. → So the blank should be Did only if the subject is omitted. But that’s not standard.
→ Wait — perhaps it’s a typo or misformatting.
→ Alternatively, maybe the intended answer is Did as the auxiliary verb, assuming a subject like "He" or "You".
→ But since the sentence starts with a blank, and no subject, it’s likely meant to be:
→ "Did not read it at all." → but that’s ungrammatical without a subject.
→ Better interpretation: The sentence might be: “He ___ not read it at all.” → then the answer is did.
→ But the original has no subject.
→ Given the context, likely the intended answer is Did, assuming a subject like "He" or "She" is implied.
→ So: ✔ Did not read it at all.
→ But grammatically, it should be: He did not read it at all. → So the blank is did (past tense auxiliary).
→ So: ✔ Did
→ Final Answer: 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 sentence. "Would you ___" → The blank is after "would", so we don’t use "do/did/does".
→ But wait — the instruction says to use Do, Does, Did.
→ However, this sentence already has would, which is a modal verb.
→ After modal verbs, we use base form of the verb.
→ So: "What would you do today..."
→ So the blank is do (base form), not an auxiliary.
→ But the instruction says to fill with Do, Does, Did.
→ So the answer is: ✔ do (but note: this is the base verb, not auxiliary)
→ However, the exercise asks to use Do/Does/Did — so perhaps they want Do as the verb here.
→ Yes: "What would you do?" → So the answer is do (not capitalized unless start of sentence).
→ But the blank is in the middle: "would you ___" → So the word is do.
→ ✔ do
→ But note: "Do" is capitalized only if it's the first word. Here, it's not. So just do.
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?
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 our problems? (past tense)
→ Subject: *they* → Past tense → Use Did
✔ Did they know about our 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 — likely a typo. Should be lowercase: "value".
19. ___ God have emotions? (present tense)
→ Subject: *God* → Singular → Use Does
✔ Does God have emotions?

- In #12, even though "do" is the base verb, it fits the pattern of the exercise. The instruction is to use "Do/Does/Did", and "do" is one of them.
- In #10, although the subject is missing, the intended meaning is clearly past tense with a negative, so "Did" is the correct auxiliary.
- Always match the subject (singular/plural) and tense (present/past).
