Interrogative sentences with "who" and "what"


http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/111682-Interrogativesentences-with-quot-who-quot-and-quot-what-quot
It covers the common question words: Who, Where, When, Why,
What, How in the simple past.(in Modern English).
Note in the following correct sentences that the two question words
that take the simple past tense (rather than did + bare infinitive) are
Who and What. These words can be pronouns, whereas the others
are not. Note also that the answer uses the simple past
irrespective of the question form.
Other personal pronouns (whose, whom, which) behave like Who/What.
in questions.

Simple present Wh-questions

What do you think about that ?
Where do you usually go in the evenings?
Which of these shirts do you like most?
In all of these sentences the question is about the object while the
subject is fixed - you. So you could try to construct similar questions
with who:
Who(m) do you usually greet first when you arrive home?
Who(m) do you ask about your English questions?
Who(m) do you trust?
Who(m) do you fear?
Since above the pronoun seems to substitute the object I guess whom
should be used.
You may begin a 'who' question asking about the subject this way:
Who do you think is going to post in this thread? I think (subject) is
going to post next.

Who do you prefer to teach you English? I prefer Mr. Know It All to
teach me English.
The questions above refer somehow to a subject rather than an object
- with these ones we can safely use a 'real who'.
