Is the translate "How old were you" appropriate? Its marked as wrong. Thought "byla" refers to a female object, so why cant female object we are refering to (Jak object stará byla) mean 2nd person?

[VladaFu]

Second person uses an auxiliary verb jsi (singular) or jste (plural). Please review the tips and notes about how the past tense is formed.

How old were you is either: Jak stará jsi byla? or Jak stará jste byla?
