We usually use an auxiliary: (does, are, did, has, etc.) to make questions.
What is the subject question? It is a question that asks for information about THE SUBJECT. 1-We do not use the auxiliary verb do/does /did 2-We cannot form subject questions with where, when, why or how. 3-We form subject questions using who, what, which, whose, how much / many 4-“who”, “what”are considered THE SUBJECT of the question and the answer to subject questions comes at the beginning of the sentence/not necessarily the first word! 5-Subject questions have the same word order as positive sentences.

The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action: § We want some fruit juice. § Karen likes Fred. § Smoking causes cancer. § Daniel made a sandwich. § The earthquake damaged my house. § Jennifer lied to Sam. The object of a sentence is the person or thing that is acted upon, or receives the action: § We want some fruit juice. § Karen likes Fred. § Smoking causes cancer. § Daniel made a sandwich. § The earthquake damaged my house. § Jennifer lied to Sam.
Most questions in English are object questions – we want to know about the receiver of the action. In object questions the question word is NOT the subject of the verb and the word order is NOT the same as in the affirmative sentence. She needs care. What does she need? She visited her parents. Who did she visit? I went home. Where did you go? I played with James and Jenny. Who did you play with? He stayed at Four Seasons Hotel. Where does he stay? These questions follow the QUASM formula: · Question word · Auxiliary verb · Subject · Main verb.
For questions in the simple present, the auxiliary verbs are do and does: § We want some fruit juice § What do you want to drink? Karen likes Fred. § Who does Karen like? Smoking causes cancer. § What does smoking cause?
For questions in the simple past, the auxiliary verb is did: Daniel made a sandwich. § What did Daniel make? The earthquake damaged my house. § What did the earthquake damage? Jennifer lied to Sam. § Who did Jennifer lie to?
