I need two simple questions to use in a worksheet
I am writing quiz questions and need two more 'blank fill' questions. I am having the students fill in the blanks with certain words from a list, each word can only be used once, so each question has to be worded so there can be only one possible correct answer. I am stuck on the words "didn't" and "doesn't". The exercises are all in the question form. The words "didn't" or "doesn't" can be located either at the beginning or in the middle of the questions, preferably not at the end; I am doing another section on tag questions.
My problem is that every question I think of can have either word interchanged, depending on the tense. I don't want to get tenses involved in this worksheet.
examples:
Didn't she like his little dog? ("doesn't" also works here)
Which one doesn't she like? ("didn't" also works here)
I'm just drawing a blank here, maybe someone else, some fresh eyes, can come up with a couple suitable questions.

hmmm, not option to edit my own post? Really? That makes no sense in this day and age, it is the 21st century after all.

- That makes no sense in this day and age, it is the 21st century after all.
- Anyway, after reviewing what I have written so far in my quiz, I found a couple questions that can have two possible answers, and I don't want that.
- So, here are the words I am using for the blank-fills - do, don't, does, doesn't, did, didn't - and I want 6 blank-fill questions in question form, written so that each of those words can only be used once.

You can avoid specifying the tense by adding suitable adverbials. You can possibly avoid the affirmative/negative problem by giving more context.
He (buy) the car he wanted because it was too expensive.
Paul (buy) a car last Thursday so he could give it to his son as a birthday present on Saturday.
She (buy) a new handbag every week. I don't know how she can affo

Thanks for the tip. I think I have the questions figured out. Here is what I came up with -
Use the appropriate word to make questions – do, don’t, does, doesn’t, did, didn’t – use each word only once
1) Hey Jim, you do like little dogs, don’t you?
2) Well, she does like the round diamond better, but should I get her a bigger one?
3) He doesn’t like t
