Top answer
In all your sentences what is the grammatical subject and it is 3rd person singular, as the s in the verb shows. In the first two sentences you is the object of brings and makes respectively and in the last sentence you is an indirect object. The grammatical reson an object form is required is the preposition to.

Hi, vineeta. Welcome to English forums. Thanks for joining us.
Actually, "What" is the subject of these sentences. In this case it's a pronoun, third person singular. "You" is the direct object of the verb.
It's like, "Who gave you that pencil?", except in this case "you" is the indirect object, and the tense is simple past.
"Who wants me for a partner?"
