Subject and object question
In the simple present and simple past tense, we make questions and negatives with do,
does and did. But there are some exceptions to this rule.

In subject questions where we want to find information about the subject, we do not use the auxiliary
verb do/does/did.

In object questions where we want to find information about the object, we use the auxiliary
verb do/does/did.

Study the sentence given below.

 John broke a window.

This sentence has a subject (John), a verb (broke) and an object (window).

Now when we make questions to find this information, there are two possibilities.

If we want to make a question where the answer is ‘window’, the question would be: What did John
break? John broke a window.

Now if we want to make a question where the answer is ‘John’, the question would be ‘Who broke the
window?’ ‘John broke the window.’

When we make a question where the answer is the object, we use the auxiliary do/did. In subject
questions, the auxiliary do is not used.

More examples are given below.

Subject question

Who likes ice-cream? Jack likes ice-cream. (NOT Who does like ice-cream?)
