Topic: Asking past tense questions when the answer is the subject

  1. Normal past questions with “did”:
    • When the answer is not the subject, we use:
      Did + subject + infinitive?
      Example:
      • Question: Did she buy a book?
      • Answer: Yes, she bought a book.
  2. When the answer is the subject:
    • If the answer itself is the subject, we do not use “did” in the question.
    • Instead, we ask:
      Who + past verb?
      Example:
      • Statement: She bought a book.
      • Question: Who bought a book?
      • Answer: She bought a book.
