4. Complete the questions using was or were. Then match them to the answers. (12 marks)
Ответ:
Here's the completed exercise with matched answers:
e.g. B When/Pam's/party? - When was Pam's party?
1. Where/you and Jane/yesterday evening? - Where were you and Jane yesterday evening? - C (We were at a party)
2. it/a good film? - Was it a good film? - D (Yes, it was very good.)
3. you/with them? - Were you with them? - A (No, I wasn't. I was at work.)
Explanation:
1) 'you and Jane' are plural so 'were' is correct. The answer 'We were at a party' is the most appropriate response.
2) 'it' refers to the film, it is singular, so 'was' is appropriate. The answer 'Yes, it was very good' is the right response.
3) 'you' implies plurality in the context so use 'were' rather than 'was'. The answer 'No, I wasn't. I was at work.' matches.
