Subject nd object questions 3rd

Subject/Object Questions

There are two main types of question in English.

Subject Questions: You want to know who/what does

something.

Bob

Who ate my chocolate?

BOB

Object Questions: You want to know what someone did, or

to whom/where/when.

Tom ate my chocolate.

What did Tom eat?

my chocolate.

Subject questions are easy to make. You just use 'who' or

'what' instead of the subject of the sentence.

Example:

• Who wrote Hamlet? • (answer: Shakespeare wrote

Hamlet.

• Who is going home?• (answer: My sister is going home.)

Question Word Auxiliary Subject VerbWhat are you doing?Where do they live?

Object questions are more common butmore difficult to make. You need anauxiliary verb (do, be, have ...) beforethe subject, and a main verb (go, make, think ...) after it.

Sarah eats chocolate every day.
