Gatsby was rude, and it made Nick suspicious.

"I think he hardly knew what he was saying, for when I asked him what business he was in he answered, “That’s my affair,” before he realized that it wasn’t the appropriate reply.

“Oh, I’ve been in several things,” he corrected himself."

Explanation:

The questions above are using the simple present and the present continuous tenses. To ask questions in the simple present, we use the auxiliary verb "do" for the persons "I, you, we, they". The auxiliary becomes "does" for the persons "he, she, it".

If, however, we are asking questions using the verb to be - both in the simple present and the present continuous -, we'll use "am" for "I", "are" for "you, we, they", and "is" for "he, she, it".

When replying with short answers, as is the case here, we must repeat the auxiliary. It is important to note that negative short answers use the contracted form of the auxiliary - don't, doesn't, isn't, aren't.
