-

5. ‘Did he invent the car?’ ‘Yes, did he.’

Error: In a short answer to a question that begins with an auxiliary verb (like "Did"), the response should use the same auxiliary verb but in its appropriate form. Here, "did he" is incorrect in the response.
-
Correction:
‘Did he invent the car?’ ‘Yes, he did.’
---
6. Had you a good time?
-
Error: The word order is incorrect. In questions using the auxiliary verb "had," the subject ("you") should come after the auxiliary verb.

Correction:
Did you have a good time?
