Inter 3 Unit 1C Grammar

Most questions in English are object questions – we want to know about the receiver of the action.

These questions follow the QASMC formula: Question word – Auxiliary verb – Subject – Main verb - Complement

For questions in the simple present, the auxiliary verbs are do and does: 

What do you want to drink?We want some fruit juice.

For questions in the simple past, the auxiliary verb is did:

Sometimes we want to ask about the subject. 

We don’t know the person or thing who performed the action, and we want to find out.

This type of question is called a subject question, and subject questions do NOT use the auxiliary verbs do, does, and did.

Who / What + verb in simple present or simple past + object ?

Write questions for the underlined answers.

I spoke to Jessica in the park.

Who did you speak to in the park?
