Word Order in Questions

In questions you usually have to put the auxiliary verb(or the main verb “be”) before the subject. Question words are put at the beginning of the sentences.

Question word – auxiliary – subject – main verb – object

When did you have a party?

You don’t use an auxiliary verb if you ask for the subject. In this case the question word simply takes the place of the subject.

E.g. Who asked you? What happened? – subject questions

In case there is a preposition following a verb, don’t start your question with it.

E.g. Where are you from? not From where are you?

Who did he go with? not With who did he go?
