Hi,
Please take a look at the following question and tell me which is the subject and which is the object. Many thanks!
QUESTION: What is your name?
I understand this is an object question because an auxiliary verb (is) is used. However, I am not familiar with the parts of speech of object questions. Is "your name" the subject and "what" the object? So for object questions the order is OBJECT+AUXILIARY VERB+SUBJECT? And I guess for other object questions like "What did you do?", the structure would be OBJECT+AUXILIARY VERB+SUBJECT+MAIN VERB?
Interrogative pronouns or question words CAN serve as the object in a question, right? Your help is greatly appreciated!
