OBJECT QUESTIONS1. We use do / does in present simple questions:

Ex. Who do you know?

Where does he live?

2. We use did in past simple questions:

Ex. Who did you call?

What did he give you for your birthday?

3. We change the word order when using the auxiliary verbs (be, have in present perfect, modal verbs):

Ex. Have you been studying hard?

Will he come tomorrow?

When was the car washed?

All those are object questions!
