Then you should use the auxiliary verb DID plus the Short Infinitive of the verb in question (only for regular verbs).

How do you change interrogative present simple active voice sentences into passive voice?

To change interrogative present simple active voice sentences into passive voice, you typically move the object of the active sentence to the subject position in the passive sentence, and use a form of "be" along with the past participle of the verb. For example, change "Do you know the answer?" to "Is the answer known by you?"


Which is proper did is or did was?

NEITHER! "To be" is an irregular verbs which does not need the auxiliary DO to form it's Interrogative and Negative forms. The Interrogative is simply formed by changing places between Predicate (Verb) and Subject (the INVERSION). She is Shelley. Is she Shelley? We are tired. Are we tired? They were in Kent. Were they in Kent? The book was interesting. Was the book interesting? Regular verbs form the Interrogative of the Present Simple with the auxiliary DO/DOES, while the Past Simple Interrogative requires DID.

Is were the verb in this interrogative sentence Were the paintings pretty?

Yes. The verb is "be", as in "is/am/are" and the past "was/were". I (be) am pretty. Am(be) I pretty? Past form - Was I pretty? He/she (be) is pretty. Is (be) he/she pretty? Past form - Was he/she pretty? We/you/they (be) are pretty. Are (be) we/they/you pretty? Past form - Were we/you/they pretty? One (singular) painting is an "it" so the past interrogative would be "Is the painting pretty?". More than one is plural (paintings), so the past interrogative would be "Were the paintings pretty?".

Do we use helping verb with who in interrogative sentence?

You certainly can use a helping verb, but it depends on the tense. If it's a simple past tense, you don't need one: Who ate my sandwich? Who took my pen? But if you are using a past perfect tense, the helping verb is necessary, to show an action that happened earlier in the past: Who has seen this movie? Who has read the chapter? Other examples of interrogative sentences with who asking the question but no helping verb: Who is Alice? Who are you? Who was the one? Who has the answer?
