Time for a basic grammar view:
The verbs be, have and do are auxiliary verbs when they are used with a main verb to form questions, negatives, tenses and passives. Modal verbs, like could and would, are also auxiliary verbs. Here are some quick examples:
"I am driving my car."
"We were looking for you."
"Do you know the way?"

The sentence 2?
Could you please explain for us why we put 'did' in front of my friend? Thanks.
RE: Did
Sentence two is an example of an inversion. In formal writing inversions come after as.
An inversion is when the auxiliary verb comes before the subject (not after).
This sentence does indeed refer to sport or some competitive action. It means that we all thought that we would win.

Hi Teppi,
Take a look at the correct answers and focus on the tense of each one and also whether plural or singular verbs are used. I think that you'll be able to figure it out with a little patience.
Good luck.
Chris
