Question and options
Direction: Find out the correct alternative to fill in the blank.
Why __________ angry with me yesterday?
- were you
- was you
- you were
- have you been
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - were you
'Yesterday' calls for the past tense, and with the subject 'you' the verb is 'were'; a question puts the verb before the subject: 'Why were you angry with me yesterday?' 'Was you' is wrong agreement, 'you were' lacks the question order, and 'have you been' does not go with 'yesterday'.
