Was the grammar hard today? Listen to another explanation, more examples, and do some practice!!
It's true that "to be" is a linking verb that acts more like an = than an action, so using the rule did+action and was/were with a description usually works. Don't completely rely on it. Other non-action descriptive verbs like look, taste, and sounds like also take Did. Was and were is only for verb to be.
Examples of Exceptions to the Video's Advice:
Did she look beautiful? Yes, she did. She looked gorgeous.
Did it taste okay? Yes, it did. It tasted delicious.
Did it sound good? No, it didn't. It sounded like a daffy duck stuck in a fax machine.
