There are two main types of questions in English: subject questions and object questions. Subject questions ask who or what performs an action using question words like who or what instead of the sentence subject. Object questions ask what action was performed, on whom, where, or when by using an auxiliary verb before the subject and the main verb after. The document provides examples of forming both subject and object questions and includes exercises to practice writing different question types based on sample sentences.
