My answers:
1. is/was
2. are/were
3. is/was
4. is/was
5. is/was
6. are/were
7. do/did

1. Are/Were
2. Does/Did
3. Do/Did
4. Is/Was
5. Do/Did

Note:
--Past simple tense is also possible.
--When the subject is plural,such as 'girls', 'children', 'seeds', 'fruits', you should use 'are/were' or 'do/did'.
--In sentence #7, the verb 'enjoy' requires you use 'do/did' instead of 'is/was'.
--Consult a grammar book for '(verb) tenses', 'progressive tenses', 'quesitions'.

Hope it helps!

oh hahaha.
Why?
Is it because of my profile picx?
Actually that photo was taken in the computer skop of my uncle in Manila =)
but I took the Technical education skills development authority (TESDA) finishing course for call center agents. That was a year ago. I apllied in different call centers here in Metro Manila but they didn't hire me. HAHA I think I dont have enough confidence and besides my English communications skills (level) is only intermediate. Call centers here only hire fluent speakers of English

Great! You got it, mayumi!

More tips about how to ask a question properly and correctly

--Read the 'Questions' part in a grammar book. Try to learn all the basic rules.
--Try to do more such exercises.
--If you can ask a question, a conversation can occur.
--Please know it could be harder to ask a question than to answer it in a conversation.
--With more practice, you'll feel more confident when you need to have a conversation.

More 'question' examples:

Do you/they love the flower?
Does she/she love it?
Are you/they teachers?
Is she/he a teacher?
Have you/they been to Canada?
Has she/he seen the picture?
Had she/he/you/they read the article?
Can/ could you tell me something about it?
May/might I ask you a question?

Hope it helps!
