Subject / Object questions

Most questions are object questions. They ask about an object.
  • Where do you live?
  • Who did you see? 
And there are also subject questions. Questions we ask to find out about the subject. These questions are asked using 'who', 'what' and 'which'.  
  • Who plays football in this class?
  • What happened?
  • Which machine did Marconi invent? 
You can take a look at the following chart of question forms:

FormExamples
Object Questions wh- + auxiliary + subject + main verbWhere do you live?
What will you do?
When is she coming?
Subject Questions wh- (=subject) + auxiliary + main verb

Notice that this structure is like affirmative sentence structure without the question word.
Who loves you?
Which car will arrive first?
What type of food costs less?
