Question

【题目】There are three orange cats in my home. They ______ small and cute before, but now they are all very fat.

A. areB. wereC. isD. was

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】

句意：在我家有三只橘黄色的猫，他们以前很小、很可爱，但是现在他们都很胖。are是，现在时，主语为复数或第二人称you；were是are的过去式；is是，现在时，主语为单数；was是is的过去式。根据句意…before可知，这句话说的是过去的事，应用一般过去时，主语They是复数，故应选B。
