Read the sentence below.

  • Sheila drank water.

The subject is Sheila, while the verb is drank (past tense of drink). The object of the sentence is water.

If you want to make a question where the subject is the answer, it will be:

  • Who drank water? Sheila drank water.

If you want to make a question where the object is the answer, it will be:

  • What did Sheila drink? Sheila drank water.

When you make a question where the object is the answer, we use do or did and the main verb.
