question in English.

3. Subject Questions: You want
to know who/what does
something.

4. Who ate my chocolate?

5. BOB

6. Object Questions: You want
to know what someone did, or
to whom/where/when.

7. What did Tom eat?

8. my chocolate.

9. Subject questions are easy to
make. You just use 'who' or
'what' instead of the subject
of the sentence.
Example:

10. • Who wrote Hamlet?
• (answer: Shakespeare wrote
Hamlet.
• Who is going home?
• (answer: My sister is going home.)

11. Object questions are more common but
more difficult to make. You need an
auxiliary verb (do, be, have ...) before
the subject, and a main verb (go, make,
think ...) after it.
Question Word Auxiliary Subject Verb
