to my favorite band the English conversation band
today is a beautiful day so I decided that we will have class in this
beautiful park but don't worry I brought my chalkboard with me
we can use WH questions who what when where why and how to help make short
conversations and we can use WH questions to make conversations longer
we use WH questions to find out more information in a conversation hello
students I'm teacher Ken I'm here to explain about the past the present and
the future remember the past is before now the future is after now and the
present is now or around now you see let's study about WH questions for the
past please have a look WH questions for the past simple remember the past is a
completed action that happened before now before the present to make WH
questions using past simple we need to start with a WH word who what when where
why how for example what and then we use the auxiliary verb did what did you do
last weekend what did you do last weekend notice for the WH question the
verb is in the base form it is do not did what did you do last weekend now
let's look at a wh question for the past with the answer so we start with the
question what did you do last weekend now we can answer the question for
example I went shopping notice that the WH question keeps the
verb in base form do do what did you do last weekend but in the answer we need
to use the past simple form of go so we say I went shopping what did
you do last weekend I went shopping now we can continue the
conversation by asking more WH questions for example who did you go with who did
you go with let's look at the answer - who did you go with I went with my
friend Ted what did you do last weekend I went shopping who did you go with I
went with my friend Ted notice who did you go with in our answer we should also
use with I went with my friend Ted
why hello Lisa hi Ted what did you do last weekend I went shopping who did you
go with I went with my friend Ted now if we want to make the conversation longer
we can simply ask something like this how about you how about you Ted what did
you do last weekend I watched a movie what movie did you
