GRAMMAR - SUBJECT AND OBJECT QUESTIONS

 I. THEORY

SUBJECT QUESTION: A subject question asks about the subject of the sentence.  WHO? -  We use this wh-particle if the subject is a person.  WHAT? - We use this wh-particle if the subject is an action. Wh-particle + verb? The word order of the question and the answer are the same: QUESTION ANSWER Who writes you e-mails?     My sister writes me e-mails.    What happened yesterday?       An accident happened yesterday.  OBJECT QUESTION: An object question asks about the object of the sentence. Wh-particle + auxiliary verb + subject+ main verb? QUESTION ANSWER Who does he kiss? He kisses his mum. What did she see yesterday? She saw a film.
