"Where exactly were you last night?" the detective asked.

"Where exactly were you last night?" the detective asked.

We use the past tense plural form "were" because the subject is "you" and the time is "last night."

"I am usually at home on Tuesdays," the suspect replied,

We use the present tense "am" because the subject is "I" and "usually" shows this is a present habit or routine.

"but yesterday I did not go straight home."

We use the past tense auxiliary "did" to form a negative past tense sentence about "yesterday."
