Show Answer Key & Explanations
Step-by-step solution for: Subject-Object questions - ESL worksheet by josecarmen
Let's solve the worksheet step by step, explaining each part clearly.
---
The top of the page explains:
- Subject questions ask *who* is doing something (the subject of the sentence).
- Example: *Who loves Tina?* → "Carlos" (subject)
- Object questions ask *who/what* is being acted upon.
- Example: *Who does Carlos love?* → "Tina" (object)
We use:
- Who? for people (subject or object)
- What? for things (object)
---
## ✔ Exercise 1: Order the words to make subject or object questions, then answer them.
We need to form correct questions and give answers.
---
1. is / who / helping / you / ?
→ Who is helping you?
Answer: *(depends on context)* e.g., My brother is helping me.
But since no context is given, we just form the question correctly.
✔ Who is helping you?
---
2. do / do / on / what / Saturdays / you / ?
This has a repeated "do". Likely typo. It should be:
→ What do you do on Saturdays?
Answer: *(example)* I play football on Saturdays.
✔ What do you do on Saturdays?
---
3. your / who / teacher / is / English / ?
Reorder: Who is your English teacher?
Answer: *(example)* Mr. Smith is my English teacher.
✔ Who is your English teacher?
---
4. your / subject / what / favorite / is / ?
→ What is your favorite subject?
Answer: *(example)* My favorite subject is science.
✔ What is your favorite subject?
---
5. singer / favorite / is / who / your / ?
→ Who is your favorite singer?
Answer: *(example)* My favorite singer is Taylor Swift.
✔ Who is your favorite singer?
---
## ✔ Exercise 2: Make subject questions for these answers.
These are subject questions, so we ask *who* is doing the action.
1. Tom is painting the garage.
→ Who is painting the garage?
✔ Who is painting the garage?
2. Maria is making the cake.
→ Who is making the cake?
✔ Who is making the cake?
3. My friends live in that house.
→ Who lives in that house?
✔ Who lives in that house?
4. Robert gets up at 10:00.
→ Who gets up at 10:00?
✔ Who gets up at 10:00?
5. Peter likes eggs.
→ Who likes eggs?
✔ Who likes eggs?
6. They know the questions.
→ Who knows the questions?
✔ Who knows the questions?
> Note: The numbers are missing in the original list — it skips from 1 to 4, then 6–9. But based on the pattern, we fill in logically.
---
## ✔ Exercise 3: Make object questions for these answers.
Now we ask who/what is receiving the action (object).
1. Tom is painting the garage.
→ What is Tom painting?
✔ What is Tom painting?
2. She wants an apple.
→ What does she want?
✔ What does she want?
3. They are watching a football match.
→ What are they watching?
✔ What are they watching?
4. I’m phoning my sister.
→ Who are you phoning?
✔ Who are you phoning?
5. George likes toast for breakfast.
→ What does George like for breakfast?
✔ What does George like for breakfast?
6. I am playing cards.
→ What are you playing?
✔ What are you playing?
> Again, numbering seems off (missing 1, 2, 5, etc.), but we assume the answers correspond in order.
