    1 Presentation
    There are two ways of asking questions in English: using subject questions or object questions.

    Subject questions Object questions

    We use subject questions when we ask We use object questions when we ask
    about the subject of a sentence: about the object of a sentence:

    Somebody is knocking at the door. Paul is reading something.

    Who is knocking at the door? What is Paul reading?

    Something started the fire. John tried to call somebody.

    What started the fire? Who did John try to call?

    SUBJECT AND OBJECT QUESTIONS

    Rules for forming subject and object questions:

    Subject questions are easy! There is no change in the word order of the sentence. Just replace
    the subject with the question word (who, where, what, why, etc.):

    Somebody won the match. Who won the match?

    With object questions, we change the word order:

    If there is a be verb, auxiliary verb or modal verb, for example was, have, will or can, we put
    the subject after the be/auxiliary/modal verb:

    Allie will be at home tonight. Where will Allie be tonight?

    You can speak three languages. How many languages can you speak?

    More than one auxiliary verb:

    If there’s more than one auxiliary verb, we reverse the position of the subject and the first
    auxiliary verb:

    Paul has been meeting someone. Who has Paul been meeting?

    In present simple questions, we use do/does:

    They live in Spain. Where do they live?

    David eats yoghurt for breakfast. What does David eat for breakfast?
