The question is asking us if yesterday was Monday. This is a direct question, so we begin by answering yes or no. We will omit the subject in our answer, as it is clear what is being discussed. We arrive at this answer:

ใฏใใใใคใใใณใงใใใ
ใฏใใๆๆๆฅใงใใใ

โใใฎใโ does have kanji associated with it, โๆจๆฅ,โ but they are nearly as often used as the hiragana form.
The question is asking us if yesterday was the fifteenth day of the month. This is a direct question, so we begin by answering yes or no. To practice a different form, we will use the negative form. Because we are trying to say that yesterday among all the days was not the fifteenth, we will reiterate the subject, though we grammatically do not need to. We arrive at this sentence:
ใใใใๆจๆฅใฏๅไบๆฅใใใชใใฃใใงใใๅไธๆฅใงใใใ

There are two katakana words in Japanese that are derived from the English word โhamburgerโ: โใใณใใผใฌใผโ and โใใณใใผใฐ.โ โใใณใใผใฌใผโ refers to the American-style sandwich that you would get at MacDonaldโs or another fast-food chain; โใใณใใผใฐโ refers to a Japanese dish comprised of a hamburger patty made with sauteed onions and then served in a red wine reduction sauce. Despite sounding similar, the dishes are very different, so be careful with your pronunciation.
The question is asking us if today’s breakfast was a meal of hamburger sandwiches. This is a direct question, so we begin by answering yes or no. Since hamburgers are not breakfast foods, we will answer in the negative. Because we are trying to say that breakfast among all the meals we may have had was not comprised of hamburgers, we will reiterate the subject, though grammatically we do not need to. We arrive at this sentence:
ใใใใไปๆฅใฎๆใ้ฃฏใฏใใณใใผใฌใผใใใชใใฃใใงใใ

Exercise 4

The question is asking us if we were a good child during our childhood. This is a direct question, so we begin by answering yes or no. You will notice that the subject is omitted in the question itself, as it is clear that we are the one being asked the question. Because of this, we do not need to insert a subject. The answer will include the word โchild,โ so we do not need to reiterate the reference to our childhood itself. We arrive at this sentence:
ใฏใใใใๅญไพใงใใใ
ใฏใใใใใใฉใใงใใใ
ใฏใใใใๅญไพใงใใใ
ใฏใใใใใใฉใใงใใใ

The question is asking us if we were a good student during high school. This is a direct question, so we begin by answering yes or no. You will notice that the subject is omitted in the question itself, as it is clear that we are the one being asked the question. Because of this, we do not need to insert a subject. Though we do not need to reiterate that we were a good student during high school, we can use a slightly different word and say that we were a good high school student (โ้ซๆ ก็/ใใใใใใโ). We arrive at this sentence:
ใฏใใใใ้ซๆ ก็ใงใใใ
ใฏใใใใใใใใใใใงใใใ
ใฏใใใใ้ซๆ ก็ใงใใใ
