PLEASE EXPLAIN ME THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT PAST TENSE.

Ex. how was the party yesterday.
do we have to use is or was.
  

Top answer

You must use the past tense because the party is over; it is a past event. The fact that the sentence is interrogative does not change that. Here are some tips: do not use all capital letters unless you are writing an acronym or an initialism, begin every sentence with a capital letter, and end every question with a question mark, not a period.
