questions, questions with preposition
We use subject questions when we are asking about who, what, etc. did the action. We do not use an auxiliary verb after the question word if the question
word (who, what, etc.) is the subject of the sentence.
When we are asking about the object (after the verb) we use the normal order of the English question: auxiliary verb + subject. These types of questions
are called object questions.
Jack called Teresa . (Teresa = object) Jack called Teresa. (Jack = subject)
Who did Jack call? (Who = object) Who called Teresa? (Who = subject)
• I played tennis with John. ⇒ Who did you play tennis with? (NOT With who did you…)
• I work for a multinational company ⇒ What company do you work for?
• We usually talk about sports. ⇒ What do you usually talk about?
