Subject and Object Question


Hello Students and Flabbergasting English followers,

Due to the class I taught Thursday morning, we have decided to come up with this interesting and not difficult topic. You may have doubts because of the names. SUBJECT AND OBJECT QUESTIONS. However, it is simple when you put them into practice. I dedicate this post to my students: Lucas, Guilherme, Luis, Julia, and Ana. Hope you enjoy it.

Firstly, the one to analyse the sentence should know what SUBJECT and OBJECT are. In the sentence "She painted the wall.", She" is the subject and "the wall" is the object.

SUBJECT QUESTION is that question in which the SUBJECT is unknown. So, the subject question is used when the person who asks wants to know the SUBJECT.

In Subject Questions, the auxiliary verb MUST NOT come in the sentence.

Its structure is: WHO/WHAT + VERB (Simple Past/ Simple Present) + OBJECT

i.e.:
Who drove the bus last night?

What happened to Tarzan?

Who speaks English?

What makes you happy?



OBJECT QUESTION is that question in which the OBJECT is unknown. So, the object question is used when the person who asks wants to know the OBJECT.

In Object Questions, the auxiliary verb MUST COME in the sentence.

Its structure is: WHO/WHAT + auxiliary (did, do, does) + Subject + VERB (Simple Present-basic form)

i.e.:
What did you drive last night?

What did she study?

What language do American people speak?

What did she do make you happy?


That is all folks! I would like to remind all of you that Flabbergasting English Blog is your home. Enjoy it to the fullest.

  3. Thanks for sharing.If your child is having trouble with his studies then private tutoring may be able to help him get back on track. Your child's school or teacher may be able to recommend someone or your friends may have used a tutor for their children. Learning centers also have tutors available and even though they are a little more expensive they may be your best choice. It is better for your child if they can be tutored at home rather than someplace where they do not feel comfortable. Private tutoring can benefit your childin many ways.

  4. The principal thing that you should mull over is that there are various individuals out there who were raised with an English foundation and can't talk legitimate English. Likewise, there are individuals who have contemplated English and were not raised communicating in English, but rather who offer great communicated in English coaching. Englisch Nachhilfe Basel
