End of Unit 18

That's all for Unit 18. By now you should feel confident constructing and asking subject and object questions. Maybe they will be useful next time you are asked to solve a crime?! Join us in Unit 19 where you will learn about too much, too many, enough, not enough and very – and we'll find out about places to live.



ናይ ስዋስው ክፍሊ

  • Subject questions with no auxiliary are formed with: question word + verb + object, where the verb agrees with the subject.

    • Who speaks Japanese? Kenji speaks Japanese.
    • Who rang the doorbell? The milkman rang the doorbell.
    • What caused the accident? Bad weather caused the accident.

    Whose and which ask about possession and choice, and can be used in subject questions like this:

    • Whose horse finished the race first?
    • Which painting cost the most?

    What and which

    As well as which, what is also used to ask about choices. If the choice is limited, we use which and this is usually followed by a noun.

    • What makes you happy?
    • Which poem won the competition?
