Explanation:
In this activity we have to form questions from the statements in the picture.
These are Yes or No questions. When forming questions we have to use the auxiliary verb "do" or "did" when the question refers to an action. And the auxiliary "to be" when the question refers to a noun.
When we give short answers in English, we have to respond Yes or No + the auxiliary verb. Answering only Yes or No can be considered rude.

A- Yes, she did
Q- Were TV programmes in black and white in the 1980s?
