SUBJECT / OBJECT QUESTIONS

OBJECT QUESTIONS
We use object questions to ask about the object of a sentence.
Example:

What does Elif have?

Who did Dr. Hammond visit?


SUBJECT QUESTIONS
We use subject questions to ask about the subject of a sentence.
We use WHO to ask about people and WHAT or WHICH to ask about things.

Example:

Who has back paib?

Which doctor visited Elif?


Note that:
Subject questions have the same word order as affirmative sentences:

Example:

Who watched TV last night? Sue watched TV last night.

We don’t use the auxiliary verb do in subject questions:

Example:

Who went to the doctor? (not Who did go to the doctor?)


In questions with modals, questions in the present or past continuous and
present or past perfect the subject goes between the auxiliary verb (can, will, is,
was, has, etc) and the main verb.

Examples:

Where can you eat the best ceviche in Trujillo?

Has your mother bought new furniture?

Are they listening to me?

When will Raul go out with you?

Had you finished your homework?
