In late November Carmen Gómez Benítez, from EOI Valencia, published this presentation on Subject and object questions on her blog Mcargobe's Blog-Room.
It is a good opportunity for Básico 1 and Básico 2 students to revise this grammar point, which may be a bit difficult for those people who have just started learning English.
Carmen also provides this link to the web English Exercises for those students who wish to do more practice on this point.
Also remember that by clicking on the tag Subject questions on the right you will find more explanations and activities on the topic.

Subject questions 1
Most of the questions in English keep to this word order:
[Question word] + Auxiliary verb + Subject + Main verb
They are information questions or yes/no questions. Examples:
What did you have for dinner? I just had some fruit.
Who do you live with? I live with my family.
Do you know my English teacher? No, I don't.
However, there is a small percentage of questions which do not keep to this word order, but have the same word order as a statement (affirmative or negative sentences). They are called subject questions. We use subject questions when we want to know who the subject of the action is. Examples:
Who won the game? Esther [won the game].
Who went to the concert with you? John [came to the concert with me].
Who hasn't been to London? Joanna and Pete [haven't been to London].
We use the third person singular of the verb in a subject question. The answer may be more than one person, but the verb after who in the question is always singular. Example:
Who knows the answer to this question? Only three people know it.
Listen to the teacher Mark Roberts explaining subject questions.
