OBJECT QUESTIONS

​QUASM FORMULA:

​Question word + Aux. verb + :) + main verb

​What do you want to drink?

SUBJECT QUESTIONS

do NOT use the auxiliary verbs do, does, and did.

Question word + verb in simple present or simple past + object

​Who wants some fruit juice?

​THE SIMPLEST RULE FOR SUBJECT/OBJECT QUESTIONS

​When you are going to ask a question in the simple present or simple past using who or what, ask yourself....

​

Am I asking about the subject of the action or the receiver of the action?”

​

If you’re asking about the subject, then DON’T use do/does/did:

​

​What damaged your house?

IIf you’re asking about the receiver/object, then YES – use do/does/did:

​

​What did the earthquake damage?
