Решение
-
Вопрос «How many people ... at your party last weekend?». Слово people (люди) — множественное число, а last weekend — прошедшее время. Значит, нужна форма were.
-
Ответ «There ... eight people». После there стоит eight people — множественное число, время прошедшее. Снова нужна форма were.
Получаем: How many people were at your party last weekend? — There were eight people.
💡 Почему так
Глагол to be в прошедшем времени: was — для единственного числа (I, he, she, it), were — для множественного числа (we, you, they) и для слова people. Конструкция There was + единственное число, There were + множественное число.
