Wh- Questions Subject and Object

Wh-Questions - 1 Wh-questions (or = information questions) is used to ask for specific information. Wh-questions begin with wh-words such as who, what, where, when, why, which, whose, how, how many, how much, and how long. Examples: A: Who did you see at McDonald’s? B: Tom Smith A: When did you go there? B: On June 13 A: How many people saw you? B: Two

Wh-Questions - 2 When you are asking about the subject, use: A wh-word in place of the subject, and statement word order: subject + verb Example: Someone saw you.  Who saw you?  subject + verb Something happened.  What happened?  subject + verb For questions beginning with which, whose, how much, and how many, we often use who-word + noun in place of the subject. Which witness told you the truth?  which + noun How many people saw the trial?  how many + noun

Wh-Questions - 3 When the verb is a form of be (am, is, are, was, were), use: Wh-word + be Example: Harry Adams is the defendant. Who is the defendant? Harry Adams is the defendant. Who is Harry Adams?

Wh-Questions - 4 When you are asking about the object, use: a wh-word, and the following word order: auxiliary verb + subject + main verb Example: You saw someone. (someone = object) Who did you see?  auxiliary verb + subject + main verb He said something. (something = object) What did he say?  auxiliary verb + subject + main verb

Wh-Questions - 5 For questions beginning with which, whose, how much, and how many, we often use wh-word + noun in place of the object. Example: Which witness did you believe? How much time did the jury need? REMEMBER: An auxiliary verb is a verb such as do (does, did), have (has, had), can, or will. Be can be an auxiliary, too. Example: Who does she defend? Who is she helping?

Wh-Questions - 7 > USAGE NOTE: In very formal English when asking about people as object, whom is sometimes used instead of who. Example: Whom did you see?  Very Formal Who did you see?  More Common > BE CAREFUL! If the main verb is a form of be, you cannot use whom. Who is the next witness? NOT X Whom X is the next witness?

Wh-Questions - 8 Wh-questions with why, when, or where have the following word order: Auxiliary verb + subject + main verb This is the same word order as in wh-questions about the object. Example: Why does she want to defend him? When did she arrive? Where will she go?
