"Who" in Object Questions
'Who' is often used as an object in questions. This is when the answer to the question is an object.
The structure is: Who + do/does + subject + verb + (preposition)?
Examples:
-
Who do you like?
Question word ("Who") + helping verb ("do") + subject ("you") + verb ("like")?
-
I like Amy.
The answer ("Amy") is the object.
-
Who does your brother play with?
Question word ("Who") + helping verb ("does") + subject ("your brother") + verb ("play") + preposition ("with")?
-
My brother plays with my sister.
The answer ("my sister") is the object of the preposition ("with").
'Who' in Subject Questions
Sometimes 'Who' can also be used as a subject in questions. This is when the answer can be the subject of the sentence.
The structure is: Who + verb + (object)?
Examples:
-
Who loves pizza?
Question word ("Who") + verb ("loves") + object ("pizza")?
-
I love pizza.
The answer ("I") is the subject of the sentence.
-
Who writes the best poems?
Question word ("Who") + verb ("writes") + object ("the best poems")?
-
My mom writes the best poems.
The answer ("My mom") is the subject of the sentence.
-
Who is this person?
Question word ("Who") + be verb ("is") + complement ("this person")?
-

The answer ("John") is the subject complement.
