In regard to tenses for a comprehension exercise
Hi. Are these tenses correct for potential questions for questions for a possible exercise regarding a possible movie clip? Would the use of different tenses be correct? Also, in no. 2, I feel the phrase "the beggar" might be correct since it is a question to be answered watching the clip just about right after (I think) and who the beggar is clear to them. (I am not sure I phrased the question correctly to reflect what I wanted to say, though)
1) What is that he wants to do after school?
2) Why didn't the woman give some money (change) to the (a?) beggar?

1. Where was the main character sitting? / Where did he sit?
2. What was he making? / What did he make?
