 Question forms TYPES OF WH
QUESTIONS

Questions with auxiliary: Questions without auxiliary

about different parts of a
sentence.
What are you doing tonight?
Where have you been all morning?
How much does this cost?
Questions that focus on the SUBJECT of
the sentence:
What British writer wrote Romeo and
Juliet?
What country won the Copa Bicentenario?
Who called you?
We use subject questions to ask about the subject of a
sentence. Let's look at some examples:
My grandmother called my mom last night.
When we ask about “My grandmother” we are asking about the SUBJECT.
Who called my mom last night?  NO auxiliary

When we ask about “My mom” we’re asking about the OBJECT.
Who did my grandmother call last night?  auxiliary DID

We can make questions about people or things. For example:

An accident happened this morning.
What happened this morning?
In groups, create a subject or other question for the
sentences.
Smoking may cause cancer.
The earthquake damaged my house.
