Question

A friend has just come back from holiday. You ask him about it. Write your question using the given words:

(how/travel?) ________

• A. How did you travel?
• B. How are you travelling?
  
• C. How have you travelled?
  
• D. How will you travel?
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A How did you travel?

The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. We use the simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past, here, the action of travelling. The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. In addition, there are many verbs with irregular past forms. Questions are made with 'did' and negative forms are made with 'did not'. Hence, Option A is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They either mention actions that are happening in the present (Options B and C), or actions that are yet to happen in the near future (Option D).

Hence these options are incorrect.
