SUBJECT and OBJECT questions There are two types of question that we can ask: a subject question or an object question. Today we will learn about these and have some practice.

SUBJECT questions With subject questions … In these questions, the question word is the subject of the verb. Who is the head of the English Program? (Mayuree is the head of the English Program.) What is the currency of Thailand? (The Baht is the currency of Thailand.)

OBJECT questions With object questions … In these questions, the question word is not the subject of the verb. It can either be the object or indirect object. Who did Thomas buy the motorbike from? (Thomas bought the motorbike from his friend.) Which house do you live in? (I live in the big blue house.)

SUBJECT questions To make subject questions, we don’t use auxiliary verbs. The word order is: Question word + main verb + info

OBJECT questions To make object questions, we use auxiliary verbs and the infinitive of the main verb. The word order is: Question word + Aux + subject +main verb

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions A very easy was to remember is: Subject question – Who loves you? Object question – Who do you love?

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions What kind of question is this: Where do you live? Remember – Qw + Aux + S + Mv = Object Question

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions What kind of question is this: Who lives in that house? Remember – Qw + Mv + Info = Subject Question

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions What about this one: Who broke the window? Remember – Qw + Mv + Info = Subject Question

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions And this one: What time do you sleep? Remember – Qw + Aux + S + Mv = Object Question

SUBJECT and OBJECT questions Try these: How long have you been waiting for me? Remember – Qw + Aux + S + Mv When is the World Cup? Remember – Qw + Mv + Info
