Answer 1

a) was

A frase tem a marcação de tempo last year (ano passado), ou seja, o verbo deve estar no passado was (estava), e não no presente is (está).

Então, My brother was in China last year.

b) was

Yesterday (ontem) é a marcação de tempo nesse exemplo, trazendo também a noção de passado, no caso was (estava) e não am (estou).

I was tired yesterday.

c) are

A frase não apresenta marcação de tempo que indique passado, então a opção que traz mais sentido é are (está/estão), e não were (estava(m)).

You are happy.

d) were

A frase também tem a palavra yesterday (ontem), ou seja, está no passado, fazendo mais sentido usar were (estavam).

We were sad yesterday.

e) are

A frase não traz marcação de tempo, indicando que seja algo que ocorre no presente, sendo are (são) a opção correta.

They are busy.

f) is

Nessa frase temos o today (hoje) marcado o tempo como presente, fazendo com que o verbo to be seja conjugado como is (está).

He is angry today.

g) was

Aqui temos, novamente, a palavra yesterday (ontem), assim a conjugação do verbo to be deve estar no passado, was (estava).

She was sleep yesterday.

h) was

Assim como no exemplo anterior, a palavra yesterday (ontem), pede a conjugação no passado was (estava).

It was cold yesterday.

i) am

Nessa frase temos a palavra now (agora) dando a ideia de presente, então colocamos o verbo to be como am (estou).

I am tired now.

j) were

Na frase temos a expressão last night (ontem à noite), ou seja, estamos falando do passado, were (estava(m)).

You were happy last night

k)

Nesta questão também temos a expressão last night (ontem à noite) pedindo o verbo to be no passado, mas o sujeito é composto, Richard and I (Richard e eu), ou seja plural, então a alternativa correta deveria ser were (estavamos).

Richard and I were excited last night.

l) are

Também não temos marcação de tempo fixo, então a alternativa correta seria are (são).

Javier and Roberto are lazy.

Resumo:

Todas a questões pedem que o verbo to be seja conjugado no passado ou no presente.

Então, nesses tipos de questão deve-se prestar atenção em marcadores de tempo,

no passado:

• last night/week/month/year...(ontem à noite/ semana passada/ mês passado/ ano passado...)
• yesterday (ontem)
• ...

no presente:

• today (hoje)
• now (agora)
• ...
