Answer 1

1) The table can be completed as follows:

Questions Answers Subject -ing form
Was Lara sleeping? Yes, she was. No, she wasn't.
Were Mum and Dad talking? Yes, they were. No, they weren't.
Was Harry reading? He was reading a comic.
Where were you going? We were going to school.

Explanation for each answer:
- In the first question, the subject is "Lara" and the verb "to sleep" is in the past tense. So, the answer is "Yes, she was" if Lara was sleeping, and "No, she wasn't" if she wasn't sleeping.
- In the second question, the subject is "Mum and Dad" and the verb "to talk" is in the past tense. So, the answer is "Yes, they were" if Mum and Dad were talking, and "No, they weren't" if they weren't talking.
- In the third question, the subject is "Harry" and the verb "to read" is in the present participle form ("reading"). So, the answer is "He was reading a comic."
- In the fourth question, the subject is "you" and the verb "to go" is in the present participle form ("going"). So, the answer is "We were going to school."

2) The picture in the question shows a table with the missing words. The words in the box are "was, were, what, wasn't, weren't." To complete the table, we need to choose the correct word for each sentence.

- In the first sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "to be" for the subject "Lara" and the verb "to sleep." The correct word is "was" because it matches the past tense form for the subject "she." Therefore, the answer is "Yes, she was" or "No, she wasn't."
- In the second sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "to be" for the subject "Mum and Dad" and the verb "to talk." The correct word is "were" because it matches the past tense form for the subject "they." Therefore, the answer is "Yes, they were" or "No, they weren't."
- In the third sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "to be" for the subject "Harry" and the verb "to read." The correct word is "was" because it matches the past tense form for the subject "he." Therefore, the answer is "He was reading a comic."
- In the fourth sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "to be" for the subject "you" and the verb "to go." The correct word is "were" because it matches the past tense form for the subject "we." Therefore, the answer is "We were going to school."

By analyzing the subject and the verb in each sentence, we can determine the correct word to complete the table and provide a clear explanation for each answer.
