Subject Questions

Questions about the subject or subject questions (PL podmiot) are slightly different from typical English questions. Let's have a look at the difference:
Who wrote that book? (subject question)
When did he write that book? (typical question)

For subject questions you don't use the following auxiliary verbs do, does and did. The only thing you need to do is to put who + the verb in the correct form, e.g.
Who stole my ring? but Why did he steal my ring?
Who read the book? but When did you read the book?
Who told you about it? but Why did he tell you about it?
What makes you happy? but Why does music make her happy?
Who is swimming now? But Why is Jack swimming now?

You need to remember to use only the 3rd person singular to make subject questions.

TEST YOURSELF
Make the correct question:
1. Who …......... us every day? (visit)
2. When …......... they you? (visit)
3. Who …......... in Paris last weekend? (be)
4. Why …......... you to France last year? (go)
5. Who …......... TV last night from 10pm to 2am? (watch)
6. Who never …......... his room? (clean)
7. Who …......... the first prize recently? (win)
8. What …......... she the first prize for? (win)
9. Who …......... you? (love)
10. Which car …......... first? (arrive)
11. What type of food …......... less? (cost)
