Questions in the Past Simple tense with the verb to be are very similar to how you do it in the Present Simple tense. The only difference is that you need to remember to conjugate the verb to were or was, followed by the subject and then the main verb. For example:
Were you at the meeting yesterday? - Notice how were comes before you to form a question.
What was my assignment? - For a specific question, notice how was comes after what and before my.
How does Anna ask about specific projects from the past?
Where there any specific projects you'd like to mention?
Where is used for locations. The correct form for asking about past events is were.
Were there any specific projects you'd like to mention?
Was there any specific projects you'd like to mention?
Was is used with singular nouns. Since projects is plural, were is the correct choice.
Are there any specific projects you'd like to mention?
Are is present tense. The question is about past projects, so were is needed.
