main verb

a question word

who

an auxiliary verb

We often use question words, such as what, , which, where, how: Which team do you support?

Yes/no questions don’t use : Do you like your job?

Most questions in English need an auxiliary verb and a : Which team do you support?

We don’t need an auxiliary when we form a question with : Are you interested in football?

When the question word is the subject of the question, we don’t use . These are subject questions. Who introduced you to football? ~~Who did introduce you to football?~~
