### Объяснение и правила
1. **Past Simple (Прошедшее простое время) в вопросах (упр. 6b):**
* Общие и специальные вопросы с обычными смысловыми глаголами строятся с помощью вспомогательного глагола **did** и начальной формы глагола (инфинитива без *to*):
$$\text{Did} + \text{подлежащее} + \text{V}_1 \dots ?$$
$$\text{Вопросительное слово} + \text{did} + \text{подлежащее} + \text{V}_1 \dots ?$$
*(Примеры: Did Arthur Conan Doyle write...? / What did he study?)*
* Для глагола **to be** вспомогательный глагол *did* **не нужен**. Используются формы **was** (для *I, he, she, it*) или **were** (для *you, we, they*):
$$\text{Was / Were} + \text{подлежащее} \dots ?$$
*(Примеры: Was Agatha Christie...? / Where was Agatha Christie born?)*
2. **Разница между *another* и *other* (упр. 7):**
* **Another** употребляется с **исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе** и означает «ещё один», «другой похожий» (*another detective*, *another story*).
* **Other** употребляется с **существительными во множественном числе** или неисчисляемыми существительными и означает «другие», «остальные» (*other books*, *other ideas*).
