Bonsoir,

Pouvez-vous me dire si mes deux questions sont correctes s'il vous plaît ?
A qui est-elle comparée : Who is she compared to ?
Etait-elle à l'aise : Did she was relax ?

Merci beaucoup

Hello.

Did she was ill at ease ? This is incorrect because was is (the past tense of) the verb to be, and the verb to be never takes the auxiliary verb do.

Aha! Gerondif has me on a technicality! I was thinking for questions and negative statements, when you normally use an auxiliary...but I didn't say that!

"Was she ill at ease?" is correct.

Sherry, you say: the verb to be never takes the auxiliary verb do.

Do be careful, Sherry!(forme d'insistance) Don't be so certain to be never uses do !(impératif négatif)

Sinon, en effet, l'auxiliaire (et du coup le verbe être )être se suffit à lui même pour se contracter, s'inverser, et absorber la négation au présent et au prétérit.
He's out. Is he out ? Yes, he is / No, he isn't.
He was worried. Was he worried ? Yes, he was/ No, he wasn't.
