Answer 1

Ответ:

I asked the old gentelmen, if he was feeling well

Answer 2

The correct answer would be "a) he was feeling."

In English, when asking a question in the past tense, we typically use the auxiliary verb "was" or "were" before the subject. In this case, since "he" is the subject, we use "was." Therefore, the correct structure is "he was feeling."

The other options are not grammatically correct:

b) "he were feeling" - This uses the subjunctive form "were," but since we are not expressing a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situation, this is not the appropriate choice.

c) "was he feeling" - This changes the word order of the sentence, placing the auxiliary verb before the subject. While this structure is possible in certain contexts, it is not commonly used in this particular question form.

d) "were he feeling" - This combines the subjunctive form "were" with the subject "he." As mentioned before, the subjunctive is not applicable here, so this option is also incorrect.
