hi, i know that when asking wh questions we should use auxiliaries for ex: what are you doing?
when will you leave?
But there are three cases where we mustn't use the auxiliaries. but infortunately i know only one case which is to ask about the subject ex: who wrote this note here?
What happend yesterday?
