Fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the Verb : What ………… you ………… with this knife yesterday ?
Options:
- do, did
- do, do
- did, do
- did, did
Right Answer: did, do
The correct answer is 'did, do'. The word 'yesterday' shows that the sentence is in the simple past tense, so the past auxiliary 'did' is required to frame the question. A very important rule of English grammar is that when an auxiliary such as do, does or did is used, the main verb always remains in its bare infinitive form, that is, the first form. Therefore we say 'What did you do with this knife yesterday?' and never 'What did you did'. Hence option (3) is correct.
