Question

A : When ____________________ to Chennai? B : Yesterday.

• A. does he went
• B. does he go
• C. do he go
• D. did he go

Hint:

Forming questions in Simple Past Tense (with action verbs): - Structure: Did + subject + base form of verb + ...? Example: "Did you eat?" (NOT "Did you ate?") - The auxiliary "did" carries the past tense information, so the main verb stays in its base form. - For questions with "be" verb (was/were), "did" is not used: "Was he there?"

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The response "B: Yesterday" indicates that the event happened in the past.
Therefore, the question must be in the past tense.
Let's analyze the options for forming a question in the simple past tense: - The auxiliary verb for simple past tense questions (if no other auxiliary is present like 'was'/'were') is "did".
- When "did" is used, the main verb remains in its base form (infinitive without "to").
Option analysis: Option (1) "does he went": "does" is present tense auxiliary, "went" is past tense main verb.
Incorrect structure.
Option (2) "does he go": "does" is present tense auxiliary, "go" is base form.
Correct for simple present question, but the answer "Yesterday" requires past tense.
Option (3) "do he go": "do" is used with I/you/we/they.
For "he/she/it", "does" is used in present.
Also, this is present tense.
Option (4) "did he go": "did" is past tense auxiliary, "go" is base form of the main verb.
This is the correct structure for a simple past tense question.
The complete exchange: A: When did he go to Chennai? B: Yesterday.
This is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.
