@contrex,
I will tell you exactly how does she explain that all for us. Just only the one case she says there is a special question ( we will not talk about p(s). perfect now)
She says :
If we are talking about past tenses, you can creat (make) 99% sentences using "did" but there is one thing.
She says that this sentence is an exception and there is only one way to say that
"Where were you be?" . She says that I cannot ask (IN?) another way BECAUSE that would be not grammatically ok tj.(Where have you been? does not exist here) I just wanted to know from the real (Englishman/Americans/Canadians) if there was only one way.
I hope that was understandable finally , if wouldn't be let's end this conversation because I cannot explain better.
