1. Was the party good?
To form a yes/no question in English, we switch the subject (the party) and the verb (was) from the original sentence (The party was good).

2. Was Maria there?
To form a yes/no question in English, we switch the subject (Maria) and the verb (was) from the original sentence (Maria was there).

3. Did you have fun?
We need to rewrite the question to make it a yes/no question with "to be". The original question is not a "to be" question since it uses "do" as the auxiliary verb. So, we need to rearrange it as follows: "Were you having fun?" The verb "were" agrees with the subject "you" and the main verb "having fun" uses the present continuous form to indicate an ongoing action in the past.
