Welcome to the Past Progressive Question Negative Quiz!
This quiz focuses on correctly forming negative questions (asking for confirmation or expressing surprise) about actions that were NOT ongoing at a specific time in the past.
- Rule 1 (Singular Subjects – I/He/She/It): WASN’T + Subject + Verb4 (Verb + ING)? (e.g., Wasn’t he listening?)
- Rule 2 (Plural & Second Person – You/We/They): WEREN’T + Subject + Verb4 (Verb + ING)? (e.g., Werent’t they talking?)
- Crucial Point: For questions, the contracted auxiliary (Wasn’t / Werent’t) comes before the subject.
- (e.g., He was not studying becomes Wasn’t he studying?)
- (e.g., You were not paying attention becomes Werent’t you paying attention?)
