Thank you for your respond to the exercise and comment.

I would like to give more such exercises as and when the time allows me.

Feedback to your making of questions:

Question: 2. You were in comunity hall yesterday?

This is a part of conversational informal question with a due voice modulation to make it a question.



Question: 6. Do we have a garden behind our residence?

Actually this is a wrong question to the answer given.



Question: 7. Does he have bought a car recently?

It is wrong. Normally we should split the helping verb 'have / has' while there is not any main action verb. Has he bought...? is right.


Question: 13 should be: Have you congratulated my brother for scoring high marks?
