Questions without Auxiliaries

1. When don't we use it?

   • Subject questions are used to ask who or what was engaged in the main verb.
     • Why?
       • hey follow a different form to regular questions, because the question word replaces the subject. Their form is actually simpler than regular questions, as you just have to replace the subject with a question word and add a question mark.
         • Examples
           • I like dancing. -> Who likes dancing?
             • He completed his homework. -> Who completed his homework?
       • The only complication here is that question words can change the conjugation of the verb. Generally if we do not know the subject, and we ask a question with who or what, then the verb should be conjugated in the third person form.
         • EXamples
           • We love this movie. -> Who loves this movie?
             • The car is parked outside. -> What is parked outside?
